Mechanical rename to colon-separated task names; CI green.
- nit: line 214 still has
sever/mod.ts— pre-existing typo, but you're touching that exact line so it's easy to fix in this PR.
Updates task naming examples to use colons (e.g. `build:client`,
`dev:server`) instead of hyphens, following the convention used in
the npm ecosystem and the rest of the Deno docs. Adds a short note
recommending the colon separator, and fixes an existing typo
("sever" → "server") in the dev-server example.

Updates the task naming examples in
runtime/reference/cli/task.mdto use:as the separator (e.g.build:client,dev:server) instead of-, bringing this page in line with the rest of the docs, which already use the colon convention (test:all,build:full,dev:api,lint:fix, etc.). Adds a short note explicitly recommending:for multi-word task names — answering the question raised in #2989 — and incidentally fixes a preexisting "sever" typo in the dev-server example.Ref #2989
