What is the difference between G_OPT_R_MAP and G_OPT_R_INPUT? Which and
why should I prefer for my script(s)?
Is there a step-by-step run-through of all options for composing header
definitions?

But that table doesn't really answer the question,
does it? For both "G_OPT_R_INPUT" and "G_OPT_R_MAP"
it lists "old input raster map". AFAIU, "G_OPT_R_MAP"
is for modules that use only one input raster map.
In those cases, the corresponding input option should
be named "map=". "G_OPT_R_INPUT" would then be for
modules that have either several raster map inputs or
raster and vector maps as inputs. The corresponding
input options would then be called "raster=" and
"vector=" in case of exactly one raster and one vector
input map. Further special cases are covered by
"G_OPT_R_BASE", "G_OPT_R_ELEV", etc.: They all exist
for semantical purposes. All of them stand for raster
input maps.
I've always understood the difference between MAP and INPUT as
- MAP: used for modules which treat a map, but do not have input+output
logic (e.g. r.category, r.colors, etc)
- INPUT: used for modules that have input + output logic (r.cost,
r.mfilter, etc)
The difference between one or multiple inputs is covered by
G_OPT_R_INPUT vs G_OPT_R_INPUTS.
