    [troff]: Fix Savannah #68511.
    
    ...recovering from a botched refactor.
    
    * src/roff/troff/input.cpp (read_any_character): New function reads any
      groff character--ordinary, special, or indexed--from the input stream,
      skipping any spaces.  While a fairly simple task, it can be done
      incorrectly nevertheless.  Multiple request handlers can use this.
      Start...
    
      (set_hyphenation_codes): ...here.  Rearrange "do/while" loop to
      "while" loop.  Advance the input stream after reading the destination
      character in a pair.  Failing to do so was the defect.  Simplify an
      error diagnostic message.  Simplify a conditional code path.
    
    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68511>.  Problem introduced by me
    in commit 994fcce775, 24 May.  Thanks to Dave Kemper for the report.
