    [tmac]: Fix Savannah #58930.

    * tmac/fallbacks.tmac: Define fallback characters for many code points
      from the Unicode General Punctuation Block.  This is to ease migration
      from other documentation formats; in many cases there are more
      idiomatic *roff ways of getting results that typeset better and are
      amenable to fine tuning.  For instance, Unicode defines spaces and
      dashes of various discrete widths; when typesetting with *roff, you
      can have a space or dash (among other things) of any length achievable
      by the output device.
    * tmac/ps.tmac: Migrate non-breaking hyphen fallback character
      definition from here to the foregoing.

    report and discussion.
