[PATCH xorg-docs] remove bogus \/ escapes

[Matthieu Herrb]

From: Ingo Schwarze schwa...@usta.de

some X manuals use then escape sequence \/ when they want to render
a slash.  That's bad because \/ is not a slash but an italic
correction, never producing any output, having no effect at all in
terminal output, and only changing spacing in a minor way in typeset
output.
