commit c850f3b3cf41263514c801c89f48ccb174c5b564

[troff]: Asciify `\~` as space, not ESCAPE_TILDE.
* src/roff/troff/node.cpp (unbreakable_space_node::asciify): Asciify an
unbreakable space node (the kind produced by the `\~` escape sequence)
as an ordinary space instead of an `ESCAPE_TILDE` token. The latter
is not necessary for the `asciify` request's revised charter (and only
known application to date) of making diversion contents fit for use as
device extension command arguments.
