[gropdf] Deal better with invalid destination names.

Bookmark destinations (supplied by -T to .pdfbookmark)
are "Name Objects" in pdf terms, as such they are limited
to characters in the range 33 (!) to 126 (~). Characters
outside this range must be coded as a # followed by the
2 digit hex number. So a space character should be '#20'.

Gropdf produces pdfs which conform to this rule, but the
pdf parser (used to import pdfs for pdfpic) expects only
valid syntax. To convert pdfmark input to a pdf object
gropdf used this inbuilt parser.

The .TH macro in an.tmac passes its first parameter as a
bookmark destination. Normally this is fine, since the
convention is that this will be the name of the program
the man page is documenting. The problem in this case
is the line:-

.TH "Pamaltsat User Manual" 0 "14 September 2018"
"netpbm documentation"

The first parameter contains spaces, which yields invalid
syntax when parsed as "/Dest /Pamaltsat User Manual(0)".

* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf: Don't use internal parser
on "user" supplied input, be a bit more careful.

Thanks to Bjarni for the report.

There are a few other issues with this man page, such as an invalid . TS/TE
tbl, but these are more to do with the conversion from html to man, rather
than gropdf.
