Subject: [PATCH] doc: rewrite explanation for -par=

The negative bound for script threads comes from the machine which
generates the man pages, so may only be correct for that machine. Any
other placeholder value will also be wrong for some machines. Fix this
be removing the value. This also fixes help2man incorrectly bolding the
value, as if it were a paramater.

Closes #28850.
