- wrong number of layout columns in tbl(7) code generated by -T man

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57720

The reason likely is that tbl(7) does not support the -Bl -column

feature of not explicitly specifying the last table column.

- roff.c, roff_expand() should not remove blanks before comments

to Oliver Corff, Sep 7, 2021

loc * exist * algo * size * imp *

but watch out for regressions in the high-level parsers

maybe it should not even remove comments? - consider T{\"

- tag.c, tag_put() should not put ASCII_HYPH into the tag file,

which happens when the tag contains "-" on the input side

like man3c/fopen.3c (illumos, Solaris) and man3p/fopen.3p (POSIX)

- let makewhatis(8) follow symbolic links to dirs below READ_ALLOWED_PATH

this may be feasible using fts_set(FTS_FOLLOW)

- tag.c, tag_put() and callers like man_validate.c, check_tag()

should not mistake "\-" as a word-ending escape sequence but

instead translate it to plain "-" in the tag name

- implement the tbl(7) layout "n" specifier for HTML output,

probably by manual alignment, inserting adequate numbers of

digit-width spaces, similar to tbl_term.c, tbl_number()
