doc: fixup font markup in man pages

This exposed a bug in rst2man where it neglects to escape a literal
backslash. A patch has been applied upstream, but not yet packaged in,
say, Debian unstable. A forward-compatible work-around has therefore
been put in place.

An untracked file is ignored if its path relative to the repository
root directory, or any prefix path of that path, is matched against
any pattern in `.hgignore`.

For example, say we have an an untracked file, `file.c`, at 
`a/b/file.c` inside our repository. Mercurial will ignore `file.c` if
any pattern in `.hgignore` matches `a/b/file.c`, `a/b` or `a`.

In addition, a Mercurial configuration file can reference a set of
per-user or global ignore files. See the hgrc(5) man page for details
of how to configure these files. Look for the "ignore" entry in the
"ui" section.
