    doc/meref.me.in: Fix content nit and clarify.
    
    Margin register values do not depend on the selected font (family).  In
    fact they don't depend on anything.  They're always vees reckoned
    against a vertical spacing of 120% of a 10 point type size.  You can't
    override this with command-line register settings.  You can only change
    them after the package initializes.
    
    Clarify that vertical spacing is reset by paragraph macros (e.g., `lp`
    -> `@p` -> `sz`); introduce that concept and the new `tv` register much
    earlier accordingly.
