    [troff]: Refactor `cflags` request handler.
    
    * src/roff/troff/input.cpp (set_character_flags_request): Refactor; use
      `token::is_any_character()` instead of `has_arg()` as loop control, in
      preparation for firming-up of the semantics and logic of request
      arguments to constitute space-separated lexical tokens, as our
      documentation defines "argument".

With the foundation established in the solution to bug #68511, the fix for
this ticket is a one-liner.

New unit/regression test on the way, too.
