In -Tutf8 mode, mandoc_char(7) named accent character escape sequences

have to render as non-combining accents; if you want combining accents,
you have to explicitly specify them using the Unicode character numbers
for combining accents, or you can use character escape sequences for
accented characters.  This lets mandoc behave like groff.

Additionally, both the Ossanna/Kernighan/Ritter troff manual and
the GNU troff manual say that \' and \` are equivalent to \(aa and
\(ga, respectively, so do the same for these.  This mitigates issues
with man(7) code autogenerated by texinfo2man(1), which mistranslates
TeX ` and ' to \` and \' instead of \(oq and \(cq as reported by
sthen@ and as analyzed by bentley@.
