commit 2d6383c94d73c49f6dac55e1b041cdc887712f3f

groff_char(7): Fix style and markup nits.
Style:
* Say "special character escape _sequence_". Eschew "escapes".
* Omit `\-` from discussion of predefined glyph names (retaining \C'-'
and \[-]). The context is a systematic presentation of the subject,
whereas `\-`, like three other escape sequences, is rewritten early in
input parsing _into_ a special character escape form as discussed in
the page's introduction.
Markup:
* Rewrap input.
