This adds a tip to the command section about using two hyphens before a command to signal that no swaymsg options will follow to allow for sway commands with leading hyphens.

See **sway**(5) for a list of commands.
+ Tip: If you are proving a command that contains a leading hyphen (_-_),
+ insert two hyphens (_--_) before the command to signal to swaymsg not to
+ parse anything beyond that point as an option. For example, use
+ _swaymsg -- mark --add test_ instead of _swaymsg mark --add test_
