As the new formatting of literal and placeholders is introduced,
the synopsis in the man pages can now hold additional markup with
respect to the command help.

It looks like this doesn't work in the macos CI jobs. E.g., this run:

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/8460326247/job/23178326007

produced output from t0450 like:

I think the issue is that "|" alternation is not portable. In GNU sed,
doing "\|" with BRE is enough, but in BSD sed you need to enable ERE
with "-E". I'm not sure how portable that is (we do seem to have at
least one instance in t6030, so maybe it's OK). The most basic
alternative is just splitting it like:

  s/{empty}//g;
  s/[_`]//g;
