Include .EX/.EE in the MACRO OVERVIEW and improve its description.
It is supported by all major man(7) implementations that G. Branden Robinson and myself are aware of, so calling it "non-portable" can no longer be justified. Using it becomes increasingly more common, so calling it "non-standard" is now misleading. It is certainly useful and not deprecated. While here, also remove the word "non-standard" from the descriptions of several other macros because it is slightly confusing. A formal standard for the man(7) language does not exist. Arguably, Version 7 AT&T UNIX used to be a de-facto standard, but its influence has been waning for 40 years, and various features that Version 7 did not support are now widely used.
