As suggested by Branden in
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2024-04/msg00089.html>, afmtodit(1)
could provide a sane default for the space width when it is unspecified.

As suggested by Brian Inglis (and slightly differently by Branden too), it
could be calculated as 1/3 of unitsPerEm, rounded to an integer.
