org-manual.org: $n$-th is not math

* doc/org-manual.org (LaTeX fragments): Do not state that dash is
allowed after single "$" math delimiter and recommend "\(...\)".

Detection of "$-" as closing math delimiters has been broken since 2015
as a side effect of using punctuation class in regular expressions while
dash is considered as a word constituent.  See commits
6779f8f424 and c0369a7984.  Bring the manual in accordance to the code
instead of allowing "($-2 change)" false positives.  Users who do not
like "\(...\)" constructs may use a helper for typing it and may change
how it is displayed to minimize visual noise by fontification, see

with currency specifications, single =$= characters are only
recognized as math delimiters if the enclosed text contains at most
two line breaks, is directly attached to the =$= characters with no
whitespace in between, and if the closing =$= is followed by
whitespace, punctuation or a dash. For the other delimiters, there
is no such restriction, so when in doubt, use =\(...\)= as inline
math delimiters.
