[bug #64232] stop assigning `*[a-ik-uw-z]` special characters to italic fonts

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #64232 (project groff):


[comment #1 comment #1:]
> I believe the behaviour changes in 1.23.0 (for pdf). If the lowercase Greek
characters are found in the current (text) font they are no longer forced to
italics, see commit d58625a25f2c1732b863d64a259d04a4e61c829d.

As they used to say, "if my calculations are correct," ...that commit will no
longer be necessary and should even be reverted.

The idea behind this ticket is to get parity of the slants of lowercase Greek
letters via another route.

>  This could be further refined to apply only to font S, using .fschar but I
could not get it to work!

Yes, I think that will bear looking into, for _eqn_'s benefit in particular. 
Maybe the request is broken and needs to be fixed.  Then this ticket can be
postponed too and we'll have a chain of three...
