Simplify Unicode character mapping process.
* tmac/unicode.tmac: Drop. It was originally added in 2005 to suppress
horizontal spacing of glyphs in the range U+0483..9. Its purpose has
wandered over the years; most recently to map the Basic Latin
("ASCII") hyphen-minus, apostrophe, and grave accent to special
characters (and thus ultimately to the General Punctuation block).
But this is unnecessary since the font descriptions for devices with
the `unicode` property can provide this information, and anyone who
wants to alter the mappings can change either font description files,
output device macro files, or troffrc; or add `char` requests to their
macro packages or documents (in decreasing magnitude of ambition).
* tmac/html.tmac:
* tmac/tty.tmac: Stop sourcing unicode.tmac.
* tmac/tmac.am (TMACNORMALFILES): Stop shipping it.
* font/devutf8/NOTES: Drop remarks about mapping of \[a~], \[a^], and
Basic Latin circumflex accent and tilde. Not only do I disagree with
the reasoning (whether these glyphs are "too small" depends on the
font used by the terminal emulator, over which we have no control),
but this mapping happens in a completely different part of the source
tree, src/libs/libgroff/glyphuni.cpp.
* font/devhtml/R.proto:
* font/devutf8/R.proto: Add mappings for the five Basic Latin characters
that map surprisingly (see groff_char(7)) and are not syntactically
significant to troff. Three of these are ported from unicode.tmac.
(html): Don't migrate the hyphen-minus--yet.
