[PATCH scdoc v1] Emit \(ti and \(ha instead of ~ and ^ Export this patch

Groff since 1.23 maps '^' and '~' by default to U+02C6 and U+02DC
respectively.

The suggestion in groff_man_style(7) is to use \(ti and \(ha when the
latin variants are desired.

s/ta/to

and I think it's tilde, not tilda.

+			fprintf(p->output, "\\(ha");
+			break;

I'd add a note that having those characters inside the header won't work
(unicode characters will still be emitted), but I guess a lot of stuff
doesn't work in headers, since parse_text path is not used for the
header text parsing.
