Subject: src/roff/groff/groff.1.man: use "-K enc" instead of "-k"

  See for example

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2023-08/msg00135.html
  and more with the same subject "Baffling accented glyphs issue",
  and
.../2023-11/msg00010.hmml.

  Instead of

.B \-k
Run
.MR preconv @MAN1EXT@
preprocessor.
.

  write something like

.B \-k
Use "-K enc" instead of "-k" when the encoding (enc) is known.  
.
Refer to
.MR preconv's @MAN1EXT@
man page for its behavior if neither of
+verbatim+
  The user can know what encoding is used in the input files,
but groff (preconv) can't with just "-k".
