Re-constitution of `ds' symbol processing. First, push the
roff_getstr() family of functions into roff.c with the "first_string" directly in struct roff. Second, pre-process each line for reserved words in libroff, splicing and re-running a line if it has one (this allows defined symbols to be macros). Remove term.c's invocation of the roff_getstrn() function. Removed function documentation in roff.3 and added roff.7 `ds' documentation.
