Import changes by schwarze@ and Jason McIntyre into manuals. These are
for the new libroff macros, the new libman macros, and for the sake of general clarity. Note that `ft' documentation is NOT included, as I've kept it in -man: it's highly confusing to have it in roff.7 when it's not implemented for both -man and -mdoc, as at least in theory, roff.7 should include only macros recognised by BOTH formats.
