Escape %troff% expansion correctly in manual pages
Fixes part of Debian bug #892230.
* configure.ac: Substitute troff_as_troff_input, which is the same as
troff but with suitable escaping so that "groff -mandoc" turns into
"groff \-mandoc".
* man/replace.sin.in (%troff%): Substitute @troff_as_troff_input@ rather
than @troff@.
