txt2man is partially incompatible with gawk 5.0.1

[eribertomota]

Hi @mvertes,

gawk 5.0.1 was uploaded to Debian on 2019-11-03[1]. Since this date, the Debian CI failed to test txt2man[2][3]. See here a small test:

$ cat test.txt 
NAME
  test - do a test
DESCRIPTION
  Do a test.
$ txt2man test.txt > /dev/null
gawk: cmd. line:58: warning: regexp escape sequence `\o' is not a known regexp operator
gawk: cmd. line:116: warning: regexp escape sequence `\,' is not a known regexp operator
gawk: cmd. line:116: warning: regexp escape sequence `\;' is not a known regexp operator

I found here[4] a tip about how to fix this issue.
