Remove excess spaces.

The description of the "\$" sequence for PS1 does not match the implementation.

>From the man-page:
> \$      Superuser status.  “$ ” for normal users and “# ”
>         for superusers.

In use:
$ PS1='\$'
$PS1='\$ '
$ ...

Patch:
The attached patch removes the extra spaces from the man-page.
