    groff_man*(7): Fix content and style nits.
    
    Content:
    * Fix missing parenthesis before special character name.
    
    Style:
    * Since we are at pains to distinguish the "left margin" from the
      "indentation", recast to avoid describing `RS` as using an
      "indentation".
    * Correct another misuse of "indent" as a noun.
    * Tighten wording.
