[bug #64772] [hdtbl] consider deprecating

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #64772 (project groff):

[comment #4 comment #4:]
>   What will then replace the "fonts_n.ps" and "fonts_x.ps" files,
> which show all the characters in the fonts provided by groff?

These files being buried in contrib/hdtbl/examples means users looking for
examples of the font glyphs likely won't find them.  (I was unaware of their
existence until your comment.)  I see that bug #64967 seeks to remedy this.

Nonetheless, aside from these files' utility as hdtbl examples, if hdtbl is
withdrawn I'm not convinced replacements for these files need to ship with
groff: for users who want to see all the glyphs in a font, generating such a
list or table is a fairly beginner-level groff exercise.
