__fish_print_help: Fix unicode characters

This is nroff/groff being broken. It turns "→" into "â". This is even if we select `-Tutf8` and friends.

So, if mandoc exists, we prefer that, and otherwise, run preconv on
the file first (if it exists).

Really, what we would need to to is tell nroff to pass `-KUTF-8` to
groff, but that doesn't appear to be possible.
