If an explicit line break request (.br or .sp) occurs within an .HP block,

the next line doesn't hang, but is simply indented.
Issue found by Christian Neukirchen <chneukirchen at gmail dot com>
in the dmsetup(8) manual on Linux.
This patch also improves the indentation of XDGA(3) and XrmGetResource(3).
