Subject: [PATCH] wikiheaders: Escape backslash in man pages

Otherwise, groff will interpret it as a macro, causing the man page
for SDL_GetPrefPath() to be mis-rendered. Escape unescaped backslashes
as `\(rs` ("reverse solidus") before escaping other characters with
macros that, themselves, contain backslashes.

Resolves: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/13039
