rustdoc: Restore --default-theme, etc, by restoring varname escaping

In rust-lang#86157

    cd0f931
    Use Tera templates for rustdoc.

dropped the following transformation from the keys of the default
settings element's `data-` attribute names:

    .map(|(k, v)| format!(r#" data-{}="{}""#, k.replace('-', "_"), Escape(v)))

The `Escape` part is indeed no longer needed, because Tera does that
for us.  But the massaging of `-` to `_` is needed, for the (bizarre)
reasons explained in the new comments.

I have tested that the default theme function works again for me.  I
have also verified that passing

    --default-theme="zork&"

escapes the value in the HTML.

Closes rust-lang#87263.
