[kbd] [PATCH 1/2] Replace “-” by “\-” in some manpages when options are mentioned

[kbd] [PATCH 1/2] Replace “-” by “\-” in some manpages when options are mentioned

[Michael Schutte]

“-” is treated as a hyphen (U+2010) by groff.  “\-” is the intended
ASCII minus sign.

 The usual PC keyboard produces a series of scancodes for each
 key press and key release. (Scancodes are shown by
-\fBshowkey -s\fP, see showkey(1).)
+\fBshowkey \-s\fP, see showkey(1).)
 The kernel parses this stream of scancodes, and converts it to
 a stream of keycodes (key press/release events).
