[nroff]: Work around malicious non-compliance with POSIX.
* src/roff/nroff/nroff.sh: We can use POSIX shell parameter
- substitution only if the shell supports it, but it's a hard
- feature to test for within a shell script because non-conforming
- shells reject it as bad syntax, aborting interpretation of the
- script. Use the error return status of `unset` applied to a
- nonexistent variable as a proxy. If the shell is thus adjudged
- as lousy, use a cruder method of obtaining the basename of the
- script, and refuse to process option clusters, because we need
- parameter substitution to handle them.

the system lacks a grep conforming to POSIX Issue 4 (1994).
