nethack man page updates
- as requested by ESR, remove the use of parentheses from the usage summary, it confused some man page conversion tool he has - updated documentation for the -p option to mention the word "role" so anyone search for role in the man page will still find it - removed use of .UC, it is listed as deprecated in all the current man documentation I could find, when it was even documented at all - other minor spelling and formatting (hyphenation) changes
