patches: replace non-ASCII punctuation with ASCII equivalents

Em-dashes (U+2014), en-dashes (U+2013), and arrow glyphs (U+2192,
U+2194) leaked into commit messages and the cover letter. Linux
kernel patches are expected to be plain ASCII. Substitute:
  --  for em-dash
  -   for en-dash
  -> for rightward arrow
  <-> for left-right arrow

Applied to both staging-prep-series/ (Mobian paths) and
staging-prep-series-danctnix/ (drivers/staging/bes2600/ paths).
