docs: clean up `--empty` formatting in git-rebase(1) and git-am(1)
Both of these pages document very similar `--empty` options, but with
different styles. The exact behavior of these `--empty` options differs
somewhat, but consistent styling in the docs is still beneficial. This
commit aims to make them more consistent.
Break the possible values for `--empty` into separate sections for
readability. Alphabetical order is chosen for consistency.
In a future commit, we'll be documenting a new `--empty` option for
git-cherry-pick(1), making the consistency even more relevant.

This flag will be passed down to 'git mailinfo' (see linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).
---empty=(stop|drop|keep)::
- By default, or when the option is set to 'stop', the command
- errors out on an input e-mail message lacking a patch
- and stops in the middle of the current am session. When this
- option is set to 'drop', skip such an e-mail message instead.
- When this option is set to 'keep', create an empty commit,
- recording the contents of the e-mail message as its log.
