Fix validate_markevery docstring markup.

anntzer · anntzer · commit f96a46322429 · 2021-09-12T14:02:17.000+02:00
Make type lists fit in a single line.  A strict reading suggests that
all types should be separated with ` or ` rather than a comma, but
avoiding a backslash continuation seems more useful.

Also, *s* can also be a str.
