man-pages.7: Correct escaping of \~ advice
\e[ti] renders as \[ti] -- using \[ti] in a man page will produce a
literal tilde (~), not a nonbreaking space.
The intention here is to recommend \~, which produces a nonbreaking
space, so we need some more escaping.
Apply bold formatting too, which I believe is in accordance with the
advice in this section.
Fixes: 36f73ba37945 ("man-pages.7: Recommend using \[..] instead of \(.. escapes")
