[afmtodit]: Implement "-w" command-line option.
* src/utils/afmtodit/afmtodit.pl: Add new command-line option to specify the generated font description's "spacewidth" parameter; in commit bf7f6862c3, 2021-09-24, I made libgroff complain if this directive is missing (since any font, even a "special" one, can be selected as current and the formatter's behavior when encountering an input space should be well-defined under that circumstance). Adding this option enables a well-formed font description to be produced. * src/utils/afmtodit/afmtodit.pl (usage): * src/utils/afmtodit/afmtodit.1.man (Synopsis, Options): Document it. * NEWS: Add item.
