[troff]: Fix Savannah #67680.
Improve "asciification" of more special characters.
* src/roff/troff/node.cpp (glyph_node::asciify): Fix and clarify logic.
First, if a glyph as an "asciify code", use that. Then, if it has a
nonzero "ASCII code", use that. Next, if it has a Unicode mapping,
write out an appropriate escape sequence using the default escape
character. (This source file has no insight into what a user's
selected escape character is.) Map code points U+0022, U+0027,
U+002D, U+005C, U+005E, U+0060, and U+007E to predefined special
character escape sequences (see groff_char(7)). For all other Unicode
code points, write out an escape sequence of the form `\[uYXXXX]`.
Finally, if none of the foreging mappings exist, throw an error
diagnostic and dump the glyph's "charinfo", as if `pchar` were called
on a corresponding GNU troff character.
* src/roff/groff/tests/asciify-request-works.sh: Adjust test
expectations. Reset the escape character to the default before
interpolating an "asciified" diversion; see above. Surrender to a
regression; the new logic doesn't know how to cope with the fallback
character definition for the `fl` special character defined in
"ps.tmac". (Possibly, the PDF device should delete this fallback
character.)
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67680>. Thanks to Deri James for
the report.
