git-format-patch(1): fix stray \ in output

In listing blocks (set off by rows of dashes), the usual
formatting characters of asciidoc are instead rendered verbatim.
When the escaped double-hyphen of olden days is moved into such a
block along with other formatting improvements, it becomes
backslash-dash-dash.

So we remove the backslash.
