doc/nethack.6: Fix poor commented-out *roff syntax

Browse Source 
groff_man_style(7):
   Portability
...
     \e        Format the roff escape character on the output; widely
               used in man pages to render a backslash glyph.  It works
               reliably as long as the “ec” request is not used, which
               should never happen in man pages, and it is slightly more
               portable than the more explicit \[rs] (“reverse solidus”)
               special character escape sequence.

This change's purpose is to put things right in case the change I'm
proposing next to delete this language entirely gets reverted.
