doc: fix unquoted use of "{type}"
Curly braces open an "attribute" in AsciiDoc; if there's no such attribute, strange things may happen. In this case, the unquoted "{type}" causes AsciiDoc to omit an entire line of text from the output. We can fix it by putting the whole phrase inside literal backticks (which also lets us get rid of ugly backslash escaping).
