Log message:
        Make locales like ru_RU.UTF-8 that need the ascii8 device but UTF-8
        output work. This involves a good deal of restructuring.
        
        * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Remove a completed TODO
        comment.
        (directory_table, charset_table, device_table): Name array element
        struct types in order to abbreviate code later.
        (device_table): Split less_charset members out into a new table,
        less_charset_table. They really depend on the locale charset, but
        aren't quite appropriate for charset_table. Use "iso8859" rather
        than "latin1", and add KOI8-R.
        (device_table): Add output_encoding member, which is almost the
        inverse of charset_table but slightly different for ascii8.
        (compatible_encodings): New function to figure out if a source
        encoding and a roff encoding are compatible.
        (get_default_device): Take new source_encoding argument so that we
        can make ru_RU.UTF-8 use the ascii8 device and an iconv pipe
        rather than utf8 directly. Drop through to the fallback default
        device if none of the predefined entries in charset_table are
        compatible when considering the source encoding.
        (get_roff_encoding): Split LESSCHARSET handling out into a new
        function ...
        (get_less_charset): ... here. The caller is expected to set
        environment variables rather than having it done by the library.
        (get_output_encoding): New function, returning the output encoding
        produced by a device.
        * src/encodings.h (get_default_device): Update prototype.
        (get_output_encoding, get_less_charset): Add prototypes.
        * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Update calls to encoding library
        for these changes.
