diagnostics. Distinguish "incomplete escape sequence", "invalid special
character", and "unknown special character" from the generic "invalid
escape sequence", also promoting them from WARNING to ERROR because
incomplete escape sequences are severe syntax violations and because
encountering an invalid or unknown special character makes it likely
that part of the document content intended by the authors gets lost.

in the same way as groff:
* \\ is always reduced to \
* \. is always reduced to .
* other undefined escape sequences are usually reduced to the escape name,
for example \G to G, except during the expansion of expanding escape
sequences having the standard argument form (in particular \* and \n),
in which case the backslash is preserved literally.
Yes, this is confusing indeed.
For example, the following have the same meaning:
* .ds \. and .ds . which is not the same as .ds \\.
* \*[\.] and \*[.] which is not the same as \*[\\.]
* .ds \G and .ds G which is not the same as .ds \\G
* \*[\G] and \*[\\G] which is not the same as \*[G] <- sic!
To feel less dirty, have a leaning toothpick, if you are so inclined.
This patch also slightly improves the string shown by the "escaped
character not allowed in a name" error message.

Bug found because the groff-current manual pages started using the
variant form of this predefined string.

and audit all its callers whether termination is handled correctly.
Resulting improvements:
* An escape or tab ending the macro name in a macro invocation
is discarded, and argument processing is started after it.
* An escape or tab ending a name in ".if d" and ".if r" is preserved.
* An escape ending a name in ".ds" causes the whole request to be ignored.
* A tab ending a name in ".ds" becomes part of the string.
* An escape or tab ending a name in ".rm"
causes the rest of the line to be ignored.
* An escape or tab ending the first name in ".als", ".rn", or ".nr"
causes the whole request to be ignored.
Kurt Jaeger <pi at FreeBSD> made me aware of
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235456#c0
and in that bug report, comment 0 item (3) is a special case
of this class of issues.
Yes, the "mh" manual pages are no doubt among the worst on the planet.

* .nr optional third argument (auto-increment step size)
* \n+ and \n- numerical register auto-increment and -decrement

the previous commit for strings and macros, only technically simpler.
Desired behaviour also mentioned by Werner Lemberg in 2011.
This diff adds functionality but is -21 +19 LOC. :-)

that are not syntax mistakes and that do not cause wrong formatting
or content to style suggestions.
Also upgrade two warnings that may cause information loss to errors.

causes horrible churn anyway, profit of the opportunity to stop
excessive testing, such that this is hopefully the last instance
of such churn. Consistently use OpenBSD RCS tags, blank .Os,
blank fourth .TH argument, and Mdocdate like everywhere else.
Use -Ios=OpenBSD for platform-independent predictable output.

Both kristaps@ and wiz@ repeated asked for this,
literally for years.
