man: more backslash-encoding of characters

"-" is the dash, "\-" is minus as we know, but groff lists some more
characters: "^" is "modifier circumflex" and "~" is "modifier tilde",
which, too, need to be escaped for our use.

-.B "-A, --append"

 Append a rule to the end of the selected chain.
 .TP
-.B "-D, --delete"
+.B "\-D, \-\-delete"
 Delete the specified rule from the selected chain. There are two ways to
 use this command. The first is by specifying an interval of rule numbers
 to delete, syntax: start_nr[:end_nr]. Using negative numbers is allowed, for more

+.B "\-I, \-\-insert"
 Insert the specified rule into the selected chain at the specified rule number.
 If the current number of rules equals N, then the specified number can be
-between -N and N+1. For a positive number i, it holds that i and i-N-1 specify the
+between \-N and N+1. For a positive number i, it holds that i and i\-N\-1 specify the

 the place past the last rule in the chain and using this number is therefore

-.B "-R, --replace"
+.B "\-R, \-\-replace"
 Replaces the specified rule into the selected chain at the specified rule number.
 If the current number of rules equals N, then the specified number can be
 between 1 and N. i specifies the place in the chain where the rule should be replaced.

-.B "-P, --policy"

 Set the policy for the chain to the given target. The policy can be
 .BR ACCEPT ", " DROP " or " RETURN .
 .TP
-.B "-F, --flush"
+.B "\-F, \-\-flush"
 Flush the selected chain. If no chain is selected, then every chain will be
 flushed. Flushing the chain does not change the policy of the
 chain, however.
 .TP
-.B "-Z, --zero"
+.B "\-Z, \-\-zero"
 Set the counters of the selected chain to zero. If no chain is selected, all the counters
 are set to zero. The
