T.P.RoffChar: escape `-` as `\-`.
The groff_man (7)` man page indicates that `-` characters will be treated as typographic hyphens and are not appropriate for cases where the output should be copy-pasteable as an ASCII hyphen-minus character. (E.g. in command line options.) However, until a recent update groff man did not actually do this; it treated `-` and `\-` the same. With the new update (1.23.0) the two are distinguished (see https://lwn.net/Articles/947941/ for background), so now it is important that pandoc escape `-`. This reverts ee60ba5252360d2efbf9cf30197236a21a15a924. That change was motivated by a problem with backslash-escaping `-` in a filename for .PSPIC. That's simply a separate issue; we shouldn't do the normal escapes in such a context. It has been addressed in the previous commit.
