Summary: man2help2.tcl: table macro \w false, invalid continue

Initial Comment:
The script man2help2.tcl is invoked when the winhelp target is build using makefile.vc. Each file in doc is processed by man2tcl and then py this script.

a) The table macro  (.ta) may contain width of string as table size using \w'Data'. The corresponding regular expression was corrected.

Example from bind.n:
.ta \w'\fBButtonPress, Button\0\0\0\fR'u +\w'\fBKeyPress, Key\0\0\0\fR'u
man2tcl.exe output:
macro ta \\w'\\fBButtonPress,\ Button\ \ \ \\fR'u +\\w'\\fBKeyPress,\ Key\ \ \
This is now detected.

b) An errornous "continue" in getTwips caused the script to fail

c) Table size may have an R behind the unit (Why?).
This is now honored with a warning

The patch for tcl8.5.2/tools/man2help2.tcl is attached.

Please look also to Bug Tcl 1934200 and Tk 1934265.

Still present in head and tcl8.5.3.
The provided patch would still solve the issue.

This should now be fixed in HEAD.

Still needs to be backported to 8.5.
