The symbol `some' is incorrectly treated as a hyperlink to the function
`some' in this docstring. This patch wiggles the word "symbol" in there
to deactivate it.

Subject: [PATCH] Deactivate incorrect hyperlinking in
 gnus-build-sparse-threads doc

* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-build-sparse-threads): Add the word
  "symbol" so it doesn't link to the `some' function.

Since youʼre there anyway: thereʼs one in `gnus-fetch-old-headers' as
well.

Thanks for the tip. I started finding more similar problems, then
hauled out checkdoc and started using that, and fell down a rabbit hole.
I have a long flight on Sunday, I might try to do a full documentation
sweep then. What Gnus really needs is docstrings where it currently
doesn't have them, but this would be an okay start.
