mkswap: Some minor typographical corrections to the manual
-- changed to \(en (an en-dash) if it is a dash (pause, separation)
- changed to \- if it indicates an option
A full stop (.), that begins or ends a string, protected with \&
Space between sentences corrected to two word spaces
-- changed to \-\- if it indicates an option
