groff_char(7): Fix error regarding \(en.
AT&T troff did _not_ support an en-dash escape. It is not shown in
either version of CSTR #54, though the rendering of the 1992 revision I
have (with a real AT&T Death Star logo), confuses the issue by
spuriously showing an escape character before the input example for the
hyphen. (If you interpret the table literally, \- produces distinct
hyphen and minus glyphs.)
Also, fix missing word and a spurious plural.
Add ChangeLog entry referencing Savannah ticket closed by recent glyph
description updates.
