[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batctl: Don't use hyphen for parameter in manpage

[Sven Eckelmann]

By default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as
minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this
means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut and paste options, nor
search for them easily.
