PATCH: Fix (mis-)uses of var() in vcs_info documentation

Also fixes some uses of tt() where bf() [which stands for ...?] was the
intended effect, but I may have missed any number of those as I only
changed them where I encountered them while doing a search-and-replace
on var(). Also fixed a couple of places where quotes that were inside
the tt() macro seemed meant to be outside, and some line-ending back-
slashes that were being improperly stripped.
Someone more familiar with the intended semantics should proofread.
Also I wonder if vcs_info is now worthy of its own .yo file, along the
lines of zftpsys, calsys, and tcpsys.
(RE: bf() - in info format it puts things in `scare quotes' so it does
not seem to mean "bold font" which would have been my first thought.)
