col: replace LINE and CHAR typedefs with structs
col: free memory before exit [LeakSanitizer]
col: tidy up sources a little bit
col: add defaults to switch case clauses
col: flip all comparisions to numerical order
col: use size_t when dealing with numbers that buffer sizes
col: add structure to hold line variables
col: add update_cur_line() function
col: add handle_not_graphic() function
col: initialize variables when they are declared
col: move option handling to separate function
col: move global variables to a control structure
col: use inline function rather than function like define
col: use typedef and enum to clarify struct
col: remove function prototypes
col: add more tests

but it is fair comment structs without hiding what is the data type is
easier and quicker understand when reading the code.

Using double quotes in .SH lines containing multiple words is unneeded,
and in any case is not consistently done in the util-linux manual pages,
where double quotes are used in only around half of the cases.
(This usage was long ago elminated in the man-pages project, with
no ill effects reported to date.)
Remove these quotes, so that .SH lines are more uniform, in preparation
for some (more easily) scripted doiscovery of consistency problems in
(and possibly global fixes to) the manual pages.
Other than stripping the double quotes, this patch makes no changes to
the content of the manual pages.

Aim was to introduce page and arrow up/down keys to more(1), but that
also required merging colon_command() and more_key_command() functions.
The more_key_commands enum is pointless from computers point of view.
The command identification performed in read_command() inline with

source code ought to serve both parties.

Historical versions of column have described the default fill order as
rows-then-columns and the -x order as columns-then-rows. This was
misleading at best, and the util-linux implementation was updated to
clarify the actual behaviour in 3e094e5fe2 (March 2017).
However, the other implementations (used by *BSD, macOS, Debian, &al.)
continue to use the previous wording, and a user comparing them could
easily get the false impression that util-linux column has exactly the
opposite fill behaviour from BSD column.
To address this, a note is added to the man page explaining the change
and clarifying that, despite what the BSD documentation says, the two
implementations behave identically in this regard.
