partx: Improve the typesetting of the manual
Add a space character around '|' (means "or") Add "(hyphen-minus)" after "\-" to show character name for input Change '\-\-' to '\en', when it is used as a dash (pause, separation) Add a comma before "or" in a series of words (3 or more) Change '-' to '\(en' (an en-dash), if it means a range Protect a full stop (.), that begins or ends a string, with \& Change '--' to '\-\-', if it indicates an option Change '-' to '\-', if it indicates an option Change '-' to '\-', if means a minus Signed-off-by: Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@rhi.hi.is>
