This patch does three things:

1.) It simplifies the flag parsing code in `conf.py` to properly display
flag definitions created by `.. (ghc|rts)-flag::`. Additionally, all flag
references must include the associated arguments. Documentation has been
added to `editing-guide.rst` to explain this.

2.) It normalizes all flag definitions to a similar format. Notably, all
instances of `<>` have been replaced with `⟨⟩`. All references across the
users guide have been updated to match.

3.) It fixes a couple issues with the flag reference table's generation code,
which did not handle comma separated flags in the same cell and did not
properly reference flags with arguments.

Test Plan:
`SPHINXOPTS = -n` to activate "nitpicky" mode, which reports all broken
references. All remaining errors are references to flags without any
documentation.
