Replace hardcoded space indentation with proper troff macros (.TP, .RS/.RE, .IP) for -X sub-options so text wraps correctly at any terminal width. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes #145649.
The
-Xoption descriptions in the man page (Misc/python.man) used hardcoded space indentation for sub-options. Troff treats lines starting with spaces as preformatted text that does not wrap, causing the descriptions to break incorrectly at narrow terminal widths - words would split across lines at the left margin instead of reflowing within the indented block.This replaces the inline indentation with proper troff macros:
.TPfor each-Xsub-option (tagged paragraph with the option as label).RS/.REfor nesting the sub-options within the parent-Xentry.IPwith bullet markers for the-X devfeature listThe descriptions now flow and wrap correctly at any terminal width, matching the style used by other options in the same man page.
