[docs]: Fix Savannah #68216.
[docs]: Re-re-christen 'ESCAPE_AMPERSAND' ('\&'). Now call it a (non-transparent) "dummy character". Also rechristen 'ESCAPE_RIGHT_PARENTHESIS', ('\)') as the "transparent dummy character"; it has no impact on sentence-ending detection. * doc/groff.texi: * doc/meref.me.in: * man/groff.7.man: * man/groff_diff.7.man: * man/roff.7.man: * src/preproc/refer/refer.1.man: * tmac/groff_man.7.man.in: Do it. Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62816>. Thanks to Dave Kemper for the report and to the groff mailing list for the vigorous discussion. I don't expect my solution to please everyone. Also update references to the \& escape sequence in comments. ANNOUNCE: Update bug counts.
