[DOCS] Clarify the = YAML key prefix (#1297)
This is another change that touches the generated docs, so after finishing my writing, I
copied the change to `./docs/source/config_reference/scripting/static_variables.rst`
into the corresponding docstring in
`./src/ytdl_sub/entries/variables/override_variables.py` and formatted it as a
docstring. Then I ran:

    $ REGENERATE_DOCS=1 tox exec -e "py" -- pytest tests/unit/docgen/test_docgen.py

But all that did was revert the changes to
`./docs/source/config_reference/scripting/static_variables.rst`. IOW, it did *not*
update the rST from the changed docstring.

Static Variables
================
Subscription Variables
----------------------
subscription_array
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For subscriptions in the form of
.. code-block:: yaml
"Subscription Name":
- "https://url1.com/..."
- "https://url2.com/..."
Store all values into an array named ``subscription_array``.
subscription_has_download_archive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Returns True if the subscription has any entries recorded in a download archive. False
otherwise.
subscription_indent_i
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For subscriptions where the ancestor keys contain the ``= ...`` prefix, the
variables ``subscription_indent_1``, ``subscription_indent_2``, and so on get
set to each subsequent value. For example, given the following subscriptions
file snippet:
.. code-block:: yaml
Preset 1 | = Indent Value 1 | Preset 2:
Preset 3 | = Indent Value 2 | Preset 4:
"Subscription Name": "https://..."
The ``{subscription_indent_1}`` variable will be ``Indent Value 1`` and
``{subscription_indent_2}`` will be ``Indent Value 2``. The most common use of
these variables is to :doc:`set the genre and rating for subscriptions from the
YAML keys <../prebuilt_presets/tv_show>`.
subscription_map
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For subscriptions in the form of
.. code-block:: yaml
+ Subscription Name:
Music Videos:
- "https://url1.com/..."
Concerts:
- "https://url2.com/..."
Stores all the contents under the subscription name into the override variable
``subscription_map`` as a Map value. The above example is stored as:
.. code-block:: python
{
"Music Videos": [
"https://url1.com/..."
],
"Concerts: [
"https://url2.com/..."
]
}
subscription_name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name of the subscription. For subscriptions types that use a prefix (``~``, ``+``),
the prefix and all whitespace afterwards is stripped from the subscription name.
subscription_value
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For subscriptions in the form of
.. code-block:: yaml
"Subscription Name": "https://..."
``subscription_value`` gets set to ``https://...``.
subscription_value_i
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For subscriptions in the form of
.. code-block:: yaml
"Subscription Name":
- "https://url1.com/..."
- "https://url2.com/..."
``subscription_value_1`` and ``subscription_value_2`` get set to ``https://url1.com/...``
and ``https://url2.com/...``. Note that ``subscription_value_1`` also gets set to
``subscription_value``.
