Adjust a column number in an error message after the roff_expand() reorganization in roff.c rev. 1.388. The new parsing direction has two effects: 1. Correct output when a line contains more than one expanding escape sequence that has a side effect. 2. Column numbers in diagnostic messages now report the changed column numbers after any expansions left of them have taken place; in the past, column numbers refered to the original input line. Arguably, item 2 was a bit better in its old state, but slightly less helpful diagnostics are a small price to pay for correct output. Besides, when the expansion of user-defined strings or macros is involved, in many cases, mandoc(1) is already unable to report meaningful line and column numbers, so item 2 is not a noteworthy regression. The effort and code complication for fixing that would probably be excessive, in particular since well-written manual pages are not supposed to use such features in the first place.
