Slightly increase widths calculated from string lengths (mainly

for .Bl -tag lists and SYNOPSIS .Nm blocks), such that the text
still fits even if it is printed in bold font.
This is an ugly band aid - but implementing font-dependent width
measurements would be a major project and even more difficult
for HTML than for PostScript.
