[pkg-go] Bug#1051409: podman: Podman man pages use en-dash instead of dash

[Reinhard Tartler]

Control: reassign -1 go-md2man-v2
stop

Thanks for your report Guy,

All manpages in podman are written in markdown, and you can review the
sources at
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/source/Introduction.rst
-- as you can see the sources do not contain any unicode characters.

I strongly suspect that the unicode characters are introduced via the
go-md2man utility. I'm reassigning this to that package for additional
thoughts and suggestions. Please feel free to reassign back if this isn't
coming from e.g.
https://github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man/blob/master/md2man/roff.go but
something in the libpod packaging.
