[bug #58718] font file should allow kern pairs with space as first element

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #58718 (project groff):

Bug #64519 observes that a hyphen likewise cannot be the first element of a
kern pair.

Arguably these are two examples of the same limitation.  (There may be others;
I did not test every character.)  But I feel #64519 is the easier to solve
because it doesn't require any font file syntax change: it's already possible
to specify a kern pair that starts with a hyphen, but groff ignores such a
pair.  Specifying a space as an element of a kern pair requires a different
syntax, since currently spaces in the kernpair section are delimiters.  So to
me this justifies filing them as separate bug reports.
