[libgroff]: Explicitly construct `default_color`.
Without explicit construction, link-time optimization feels free to send
this object into the twilight zone, subtly changing the semantics of the
current and previous stroke and fill colors, making them interpolate
"default" instead of an empty string.
* src/libs/libgroff/color.cpp: Construct `default_color` with empty
string. Problem appears to date back to commit ea5a42d080,
2002-01-24.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64421>. Thanks to Günther Noack
for the report, a good reproducer, identification of `-flto=auto` as the
free variable in our experiments, and artifact production beyond the
call of duty; Peter Schaffter for ruling out macro programming goofs;
and Deri James for shrewd pointers in the right direction (twice!).

[troff]: Regression-test Savannah #64421.
* src/roff/groff/tests/detect-evil-link-time-optimizer.sh: Do it.
* src/roff/groff/groff.am (groff_TESTS): Run test.
Test fails at this commit if groff is built with `-flto=auto` and
certain GCC tool chains. The behavior of other tool chains is unknown.
