Remove almost all unpaired backticks in docstrings (#119231)
As reported in #117847 and #115366, an unpaired backtick in a docstring tends to confuse e.g. Sphinx running on subclasses of standard library objects, and the typographic style of using a backtick as an opening quote is no longer in favor. Convert almost all uses of the form The variable `foo' should do xyz to The variable 'foo' should do xyz and also fix up miscellaneous other unpaired backticks (extraneous / missing characters). No functional change is intended here other than in human-readable docstrings.

pyrepl uses its own keyspec format that is meant to be a strict superset of

we're using the '\\C-o' style of readline's keyspec, not the 'Control-o' sort.
3434
3535
The extension to readline is that the sequence \\<KEY> denotes the

sequence of characters produced by hitting KEY.

`a' - what you get when you hit the `a' key

`\\<UP>' - the up arrow key
