[Xcb] [PATCH:libxcb] Escape \n to display properly in xcb-requests man page

In nroff, \n is a macro that "Interpolates number register x" (where x
is the character following the \n sequence), thus the man page currently
prints 0 instead of \n" in several lines, leading to output such as:

 printf("The _NET_WM_NAME atom has ID %u0, reply-⁠>atom);

It needs to be escaped here, as \\n, as is done in other examples in
this man page already.
