    [troff]: Interpret spec'l chars in `device` reqs.
    
    * src/roff/troff/input.cpp (device_request): Add extensive new logic to
      subvert copy mode so as to interpret special character escape
      sequences.  We don't yet support _composite_ special character escape
      sequences.
    
    * src/roff/groff/tests/device-control-special-character-handling.sh:
      Update and expand test cases.  Comment out one new case that doesn't
      yet work.
    
    This change is in further service of the grueling march toward
    resolution of <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63074>.
    
    What's it called when you put _yourself_ on a death march?
