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.

 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 "-R, --replace"
+.B "\-R, \-\-replace"
 Replaces the specified rule into the selected chain at the specified rule number.

 between 1 and N. i specifies the place in the chain where the rule should be replaced.

 Set the policy for the chain to the given target. The policy can be
 .BR ACCEPT ", " DROP " or " RETURN .

+.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.
