After i improved their ASCII renderings in groff and mandoc some time
ago, mathematical symbols can now be used in specialised mathematical
manual pages like libm and some X libraries.

Historically, \- was used in troff for three cases: flags/pathnames,
en dashes, and minus signs. mandoc_char(7) currently recommends it
for minus signs, recommends \(en for en dashes, and doesn't mention
flags/pathnames.
In the old days, nroff rendered \- as ASCII '-', and troff rendered
it as en dash/minus (which were visually indistinguishable).
In Unicode, en dashes and minus signs are semantically distinct and
encoded differently (U+2013 for en dash, U+2212 for minus), and
often rendered differently too. Meanwhile ASCII '-' has been renamed
"hyphen-minus" and fonts typically render it closest to a hyphen, not
a minus.
There is very little consistency across roff implementations and output
formats for what Unicode character \- corresponds to. So at least for
minus signs, change the recommendation to the unambiguous \(mi escape.

~, `, and ' get translated to non-ASCII characters by most troff
implementations when generating PostScript/PDF output. When the
original ASCII character is meant, it needs to be manually escaped.

Heirloom Nroff/Troff User's Manual at the authoritative reference.
Part of our text was outright wrong.
Also, refrain from advertising the paddable non-breaking space `\~'
in the DESCRIPTION, for three reasons: For nroff mode, -Tascii, and
fixed width fonts in general, it makes no difference, so keep the
discussion simple. Compared to `\ ', '\~' is of questionable portability.
And if you want to keep words together, it is also more usual that you
don't want padding to intervene either.
Finally, drop the `\c' escape sequence (interrupt text processing)
which is not a special character but an input processing instruction
akin to the \<newline> escape sequence.

heavily based on a patch from kristaps@ with some tweaks by me.
- Also talk about -Tps and -Tpdf.
- Use the same list style as in the other mandoc manuals.
- Replace a few macros by ones better suited.
- Some improvements of wording.

Don't use it in new manuals, it is inherently non-portable, but we
need it for backward-compatibility with existing manuals, for example
in Xenocara driver pages.
