Documentation/technical: avoid stray backslash in parse-options API docs
Due to some unpleasant interaction between the `quote', 'italics',
and `monospace` rules, a certain paragraph ends up rendered like so:
‘short` is a character for the short option
(e.g. <tt>'e\’</tt> for <tt>-e</tt>, use <tt>0</tt> to omit),
Use the {apostrophe} to avoid this.
While at it, escape "->" strings: they are meant as a literal
two-character C operator, not a right-pointing arrow.
