When /bin/sh points to dash, pygopherd.txt is generated with garbled
content:

  
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/pygopherd.html

  /usr/share/doc/pygopherd/pygopherd.txt.gz

  N.NA.AM.ME.E
  vs.
  NAME

...and various other oddities.

The first attached patch fixes this by adjusting the upstream Makefile
to explicitly call groff with bash.

And... for good measure, a second patch switches to using utf8; this is
2023 after all!


Thanks for maintaining pygopherd!

 generating pygopherd.txt.

When /bin/sh is dash, the resulting pygohperd.txt is a bit garbled.
