Basically re-wrote -Tascii font handling: instead of incrementers for
bold and underline, we use a stack (no cascading, no double-font-mode). Font modes with \f only affect the current stack point, as documented in mdoc.7 and man.7. While -mdoc stacks fonts with embedded macros, -man replaces them (the stack is always size 1). This works for all invocations in supported systems' manual corpora to date. It doesn't support groff's insanity with line-scoped \f as documented in mdoc.7.
