Apply a patch series from Felix Lechner to ensure the tests pass under groff 1.22.4-1. (Closes: #917752, #917844)

New versions of groff-base have changed their output format. One test
required adjustment, but will not pass with older versions. Imposes a
minimum version of groff-base for this test as a prerequisite.

The man page that triggers the tag is included by another man page.
Such errors were apparently not detected before groff-base 1.22.4-1.
Adding tag here.

The tag format is a bit longer. It includes a partial path to the
included file. This test should be split up into several smaller
tests.

groff-base 1.22.4-1 prepends the name of the input file to any error
output. In Lintian, the messages look like '<standard input>:' for
regular man pages, and 'man/man3/XXX.3.gz:' if the error occurs in a
file included from elsewhere. For standard input, skip the information
to match the old tag output. For files included from elsewhere, the
extra information may be useful; it is retained.

If a file included from elsewhere causes an error but is also tested
on its own, the new behavior results in two similar tags being issued
that point out the same error (it would not be a duplicate).  Perhaps
the tag should not be skipped for included files.

In its error output, groff-base 1.22.4-1 seems to delimit the left
side of macro names with a single quote instead of an apostrophe,
which was used until now.  Adjust the expected tags in the test
'manpage-general' and a line in check/manpages.pm that skips some such
lines.

It may be worthwhile to send a note to all maintainers of packages
that override such a tag. The change is hard to see and can be
frustrating to find.

When running Lintian under sbuild or pbuilder, the call to gpg errors

The option dh_clean -k was completely removed in compat 12.  The test
warning about its obsolescence requires compat 11 or lower. The
alternative would be to remove the test.

For another test, the command passing with '--' to dh_installdebs
fails. This likewise seems to be a new debhelper restriction. It also
requires compat 11.

For repeated runs, it was until now necessary to run 'rm -rf
debian/test-out'. Otherwise, unfilled templates would pollute the
test working directories. They would trigger unexpected Lintian tags
such as 'unknown-file-in-debian-source format.in'. Such polluting
templates are now deleted and no longer impede repeated runs.
