Implement support for character classes.
This patch uses standard C++ headers, contrary to the rest of groff. Ideally, everything in groff should be updated to do the same. * src/include/font.h (glyph_to_unicode): New function. * src/libs/libgroff/font.cpp (glyph_to_unicode): Implement it. (font::contains, font::get_code): Use it. * src/roff/troff/charinfo.h: Include <vector> and <utility>. (charinfo): New members `ranges' and `nested_classes'. New member functions `get_unicode_code' and `get_flags'. New member functions `add_to_class', `is_class', and `contains'. (charinfo::overlaps_horizontally, charinfo::overlaps_vertically, charinfo::can_break_before, charinfo::can_break_after, charinfo::can_break_after, charinfo::ends_sentence, charinfo::transparent,, charinfo:ignore_hcodes): Use `get_flags', which handles character classes also. * src/roff/troff/input.cpp (char_class_dictionary): New global variable. (define_class): New function. (init_input_requests): Register `class'. (charinfo::get_unicode_code, charinfo::get_flags, charinfo::contains): Implement it. * NEWS, doc/groff.texinfo (Character Classes), man/groff_diff.man, man/groff.man: Document it.
