Patch to fix decimal values in encoding tables

Octal and hexadecimal values are right, but there are some off-by one errors in decimal values, e.g. several files contain lines

  oct  dec  hex  description
  377  254  ff   RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

instead of
377 255 ff RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

Correct values are printed by this command:

perl -pi -e 'if (s/^([0-7]+)\t([0-9]+)\t([0-9a-fA-F]+)//)

    {printf "%03o\t%d\t%s", hex($3), hex($3), $3;};' man7/*.7

A patch is attached, this is the same file I already sent to the linux-man mailing list
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg01197.html

It would also be better IMHO to recode all these pages into UTF-8.
