D. Ben Knoble 187df69fd1 runtime(doc): cross-link :| meaning :p and explain E749
E749 is given when :print (with any range) is issued on an empty buffer,
like the one you get with :new or :enew. Furthermore, due to Vi
compatibility :| is a synonym.

As a result, mappings intended to include a <bar> separator (esp. in the
case of boolean or "||") between commands can generate E749 on startup
when placed in a vimrc if the bars are not properly encoded or escaped.
[1]. Document this failure mode and synonym near the generated error,
and cross link with :help :bar. Note that one must read or scroll quite
a bit to find the mention of :| behaving like :print!
