r-vdp 7bd37dfe55 create_manpage_completions: handle groff \X'...' device control escapes ...

help2man 1.50 added \X'tty: link URL' hyperlink escapes to generated
man pages. coreutils 9.10 is the first widely-deployed package to ship
these, and it broke completion generation for most of its commands
(only 17/106 man pages parsed successfully).

The escape wraps option text like this:

  \X'tty: link https://example.com/a'\fB\-a, \-\-all\fP\X'tty: link'

Two places needed fixing:

- remove_groff_formatting() didn't strip \X'...', so Type1-4 parsers
  extracted garbage option names like "--all\X'tty"

- Deroffer.esc_char_backslash() didn't recognize \X, falling through
  to the generic single-char escape which stripped only the \, leaving
  "X'tty: link ...'" as literal text. Option lines then started with
  X instead of -, so TypeDeroffManParser's is_option() check failed.

Also handle \Z'...' (zero-width string) which has identical syntax.

Closes #12578
