Broken use of \c in man page

[Helge Kreutzmann]

Dear gawk maintainers,

The usage of \c is in gawk(1) is incorrect. It fails when trying
to use po4a to provide translations of the man pages. Im currently
"patching around this" in manpages-l10n.

For a full explanation of the problem see Debian #1036826 
https://bugs.debian.org/1036826
and the explanations by Bjarni, especially in message #25:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1036826;msg=25

It would be great if you could fix this so that manpages-l10n can
remove our workaround, which slows down our build.

Btw. the man page in Edition 5.1 does not contain this problem, it 
was introduced in Edition 5.2.

Thank you very much!

Greetings

         Helge
