help: avoid using "$n" parameter in revsetalias example

Because parsing "$n" requires a crafted tokenizer, it exists only for backward
compatibility (as documented in revset._tokenizealias.) This patch updates the
examples so that users are encouraged to use symbolic names instead of "$n"s.

I'm going to implement alias expansion in templater, which won't support "$n"
parameters to make my life easier. Templater is more complicated than revset
because tokenizer and parser call each other.

``issue(1234)`` is equivalent to ``grep(r'\bissue[ :]?1234\b|\bbug\(1234\)')``

"issue1234" and "bug(1234)".
All other prefix, infix and postfix operators have lower priority than
