[tmac]: Work around macOS od (mis-)behavior.
* tmac/tests/latin2_works.sh:
* tmac/tests/latin5_works.sh:
* tmac/tests/latin9_works.sh: Port to work around macOS's apparently
POSIX non-conforming 'od' command. Use single-byte octal output
format instead of "character", and update test expectations
accordingly. Apparently gratuitously, macOS also puts more spaces
after the octal address field when using this output format.
* HACKING: Document, and elaborate upon, this problem.
Also distinguish identical test failure diagnostics.
ANNOUNCE: Remove caveat about automated test failures on macOS.
