Well, a simple grep would have shown you there is a script in the
Documentation directory that actually generates those "---help---"
markers.

So if converting away from them, we should certainly not help people make more.

I did the obvious fixup in 3e1ad4054b8d ("doc: don't use deprecated
"---help---" markers in target docs") but didn't test that script.
