Summary: [PATCH] mdoc \*[Lq], \*[Rq]: map to \[lq], \[rq] for
all terminal devices

Details:
If you use \[lq] and \[rq] directly in your document, the quotes already
render nicely for all terminal devices: as U+201C and U+201D for devutf8 and
as ASCII 0x22 (") for devascii and devlatin1.
So it is not quite clear why doc-nroff should avoid \[lq] and \[rq]
when resolving \*[Lq] and \*[Rq] for devascii and devlatin1. Quite to the
contrary, many people seem to consider "``" and "''" ugly renderings because
they look unbalanced.
