Fix man page formatting and wording
The main change introduced in this patch is the correct usage of - and \-. Instead of the \(em macro for em-dashes as suggested by man-pages(7) it uses the \(en macro: Both dashes are typeset as a single UTF-8 character on my terminal. If spaces are omitted, the resulting text is very hard to read if set in monospace fonts as the en- or em-dash is not significantly different from a regular dash. The em-dash may not be used with spaces, hence the usage of en-dash.
