This fix addresses one of the complaints of bug #58036.

Also, to add to the fix's NEWS item's sentence "The download file for grops shipped by groff has long used tabs rather than spaces for field separation": fortunately, so have the "download" entries added by install-font.sh.  While this is not (yet (bug #60930)) an official groff tool, it is widely used in the community.

    [grops]: Fix Savannah #65246 (spacey file names).

    * src/devices/grops/psrm.cpp (resource_manager::read_download_file):
      Stop interpreting spaces as token delimiters, so that PostScript font
      files with spaces in their names can be handled (read and embedded in
      the generated PostScript).

    * src/devices/grops/grops.1.man (Usage): Update documentation.

    * NEWS: Add item reporting this user-visible change.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65246>.  Thanks to Deri James for
    the report.

This is a feature change, as the file format is documented in grops(1) as using spaces for field separation.

However, I don't see any reason to keep this distinction between gropdf's "download" format and grops's, and spacey font file names are likely something we should deal with, while tabby ones--I hope--aren't.
