documentation: Fix bugs introduced in the SGML to XML transition
In the transition from SGML to XML (several releases ago), bugs were introduced in the documentation, for instance "\n" replaced by newlines. Correct those bugs. Also correct double backslashes. They seem to have been introduced very early in the development of OTP. According to Lars they "solved" a bug in the generation of HTML &c. Now that standard tools are used instead of docbuilder, the bug has become visible.
