#7740: Missing '-'prefix on ffmpeg options

Summary of the bug:
Given a ffmpeg command line from somewhere.
If one wants to find the documentation of a given option he may search on
the web site with "-option". To succeed this search, it would be helpful
to list the options with a '-' prefixed. Also if studying the
documentation, it would be helpful as saving the '-' in the list of
options is very uncommon with Linux documentation on commands.
The statement "by specifying -option value" is quite difficult to find on
such huge web pages and presupposes some avoidable thinking on what it may
mean.
So _at least_ please add "(prefix the listed options with '-')".
