groff_mdoc(7): Fix greengrocer's apostrophes.
http://www.viviancook.uk/Punctuation/ApostGrocers.htm
Also recast "I/Os" (originally "I/O's") as "I/O operations"; the former
is awkward and nonstandard. Futhermore, don't mark up "I/O" with the
.Tn macro; it is not a trade name, not an acronym, and not a type name.
