doc/PKGBUILD: clarify scriptlet version arguments

epoch in the mix now that it exists.

Also make two other minor consistency touchups to code-print variables

The exact time the script is run varies with each operation:
The exact time the script is run varies with each operation, and should be
self-explanatory. Note that during an upgrade operation, none of the install
or remove scripts will be called.
Scripts are passed either one or two ``full version strings'', where a full
version string is either 'pkgver-pkgrel' or 'epoch:pkgver-pkgrel' if epoch is
non-zero.

To use this feature, create a file such as 'pkgname.install' and put it in the
same directory as the PKGBUILD script. Then use the install directive:
