Documentation: remove unnecessary backslashes

asciidoctor does not remove backslashes used to escape curly brackets from
the HTML output if the contents of the curly brackets are empty or contain
at least a <, -, or space.  asciidoc does not require the backslashes in
these cases, so just remove them.
