tools/gst-launch.1.in: don't start lines with single quotes

commit 7521d5b3cf1ebaf812bf1a28f8e36a78b1017594

    tools: don't start lines with single quotes in man page

    When a line starts with a single quote it's treated in a special way by
    man, which may result in paragraphs of the man page not rendered by the
    man pager, so just avoid that.

    A possible solution could have been to escape the singe quote with
    a \(cq sequence but this is rather unreadable, instead the text has been
    reformatted to have the problematic quoted 'ppc' string on the previous
    line.
