release.sh: Simplify Lex handling

release.sh had a hack to ensure that flex-generated scanners are fresh
in release tarballs. This is more easily achieved by configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode, which causes Automake to enable the Lex
rebuild rule.

* release.sh: Configure with --enable-maintainer-mode; drop conditional
removals of src/lexgrog.c and src/zsoelim.c.

lexgrog: Fix handling of \- in RHS of NAME section

Fixes Debian bug #913351.

* src/lexgrog.l (MAN_NAME): Split into MAN_NAME (left-hand side) and
MAN_DESC (right-hand side). Most rules remain as before, except that \-
and similar are only handled specially in MAN_NAME and transition to
MAN_DESC, and rules that add a 0x11 marker (indicating the start of a
new whatis definition) transition to MAN_NAME.
(MAN_NAME_AT, MAN_NAME_BSX, MAN_NAME_BX, MAN_NAME_BX_RELEASE,
MAN_NAME_DQ, MAN_NAME_FX, MAN_NAME_NX, MAN_NAME_OX): Rename to
MAN_DESC_*.
(mdoc_text): Transition to MAN_DESC rather than MAN_NAME.
(newline_found): If adding 0x11, transition to MAN_NAME.
* src/tests/lexgrog-3: New file.
* src/tests/Makefile.am (ALL_TESTS): Add lexgrog-3.
* NEWS: Document this.
