[PATCH 11/18] doc/bash.1: drop unneeded quotes from macro args

[G. Branden Robinson]

A *roff macro argument need be quoted only if it contains spaces (and
spaces within escape sequences don't count; for Ossanna/Kernighan troff,
that codicil applies only to the unadjustable break escape sequence,
`\ `, which this document uses occasionally--`\~` is preferable but not
as portable).
