tcp.7: Minor tweaks to Wei's patch

- wsfix
- Boldface literals (see groff_man(7)).
- Replace '\ ' by \~, per Branden's advise.
- Use phrasal semantic newlines.
- Put '...' in a C comment, to avoid interfering with groff.
  It has the side effect that the code example is pure C now.
- Remove incorrect trailing '.IP'.
