Reduce instances of `` '' in manuals.
troff displays these as typographic quotes, but nroff implementations almost always print them literally, which rarely has the intended effect with modern fonts, even in stock xterm. These uses of `` '' can be replaced either with more semantic alternatives or with Dq, which prints typographic quotes in a UTF-8 locale (but will automatically fall back to `` '' in an ASCII locale). improvements and ok schwarze@

The notion of the
.Dq current process
is muddy.
-The current algorithm is
-``the highest numbered process on the terminal
-that is not ignoring interrupts, or, if there is none, the highest numbered
-process on the terminal.''
+Currently, the highest numbered process on the terminal that is not ignoring
+interrupts is used, or, if there is none, the highest numbered process on the
+terminal.
This fails, for example, in critical sections of programs like the shell
and editor, or when faulty programs running in the background fork and fail
to ignore interrupts.
