Groff escaping changes.
- `--ascii` is now turned on automatically for man output, for
portability. All man output will be escaped to ASCII.
- In T.P.Writers.Groff, `escapeChar`, `escapeString`, and
`escapeCode` now take a boolean parameter that selects
ascii-only output. This is used by the Ms writer for
`--ascii`, instead of doing an extra pass after writing
the document.
- In ms output without `--ascii`, unicode is used whenever
possible (e.g. for double quotes).
- A few escapes are changed: e.g. `\[rs]` instead of `\\` for
backslash, and `\ga]` instead of `` \` `` for backtick.
