[PATCH v2 01/18] doc/bash.1: fix rendering error on old *roffs

[G. Branden Robinson]

Hi Chet,

Sorry--I need to update 2 of the items in this series.

v2: Fix a goof where I regressed the escaped hyphen in "self-insert".

The man(7) in Seventh Edition Unix (1979) accepted at most six arguments
to any macro.  Documenter's Workbench 3.3 troff retains this limitation,
as do at least some System V troffs that survive in commercial Unix
(such as Solaris 10 troff).

Quote the mulitiplicity of arguments so that they will appear.

Also simplify a similar case which was using the unadjustable space
escape sequence `\ ` to work around the same problem.  Since a paragraph
tag normally doesn't break or adjust anyway, the usage was mysterious.
Drop the backslashes and quote the tag as one big argument instead.
