commit c740a67424628f04b24cf0c515d7beb3c4dd6a90

groff_out(5): Fix content, style, markup nits.
Content:
* Replace pseudo-bibliographic citations with references to AT&T troff.
* Note that groff's output driver library handles relative horizontal
and vertical motion commands with negative arguments even though the
formatter doesn't produce them.
Style:
* Fix missing parenthesis.
* Tighten wording.
Markup:
* Break input lines after semicolons.
