; Fix mistakes in last doc rewording about shorthands

bug#51089

1. The 'punctuation' syntax class is actually empty in Emacs Lisp.
   The class used in the implementation is 'symbol constituents';

2) The prefix to escape shorthands is '#_' together, not '#' or '_'.

* doc/lispref/symbols.texi (Shorthands): Fix exception.
