MDEV-23789: Fix unnecessary acute accents in man pages

The man pages has several places where \' is intended to escape the single
quote and just print '. However, in reality this will print an ` (acute
accent). Fix this by removing excess backslashes. Also remove some excess
& in front of dots, such escaping is also unnecessary.

Also join several lines to avoid lone words in quotes to be read by groff
as macros when they are just text.

In a table (t{}) the content must be on new lines separately, so groff
will try to read them as macros too, so use \(aq that renders to '
(single quote).

This error was originally detected by Lintian:
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/acute-accent-in-manual-page

Example of man page sections before and after:

  Make a backup of each table´s data file using the name tbl_name.OLD.
  ->
  Make a backup of each table's data file using the name tbl_name.OLD.

  A typical debug_options string is ´d:t:o,file_name´.
  The default is ´d:t:o,/tmp/my_print_defaults.trace´.
  ->
  A typical debug_options string is 'd:t:o,file_name'.
  The default is 'd:t:o,/tmp/my_print_defaults.trace'.

  shell> mysql --xml -uroot -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE ´version%´"

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <resultset statement="SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'version%'" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

This command was used to validate no man pages have syntax errors:

  for x in *.?
  do
    echo "##### $x #####"
    LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z $x >/dev/null
  done

The man pages are not perfect after this, there are still a lot of
suboptimal syntax, but this helps towards better man pages.
