Quote ' as \(aq in manpages
The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'. This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.
Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.
Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.
Thanks also to Miklos Vajna for documentation.
