spacecheck.pl: drop more exceptions
- replace ß (scharfes S) with links.
- replace § (section sign) with links.
- replace 🙏 emoji with `🙏`.
 Supported by GitHub, Forgejo/Gitea and most likely GitLab.
- docs/libcurl/curl_mprintf.md: replace Unicode ± with `{+|-}`.
- docs/CIPHERS.md: URL encode Unicode in URLs.
- lib1560: use hex encoding in `räksmörgås.se`.
- unit1307: use hex encoding in `Lindmätarv`.
- drop LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE exception.
  No longer appears in tests.

This leaves the single character exception: `ö`
And file exceptions holding contributor names.
