Simplify the many if ( ! mdoc_nmsg()) return(0) etc. calls with just the

error printing, as this is superseded by exit_status in main.c.

Make check_argv() and check_text() return void.

Make MDOC_Std test in check_argv() to pre_std().

Re-write post_root() to check more conditions before returning.
