    [ms]: Add string FR for footnote ratio expression.
    
    [ms]: Add new string FR to hold an expression for computing the footnote
    length relative to the line length, consistently for single- and
    multi-column modes, which \n[FL] has never done.
    
    * tmac/s.tmac: Initialize FR string to "11/12".
      (@MC): Compute footnote column width using \*[FR] instead of a
      hard-coded "11/12" expression.
      (par@init): Compute default \n[FL] using \*[FR] instead of a
      hard-coded "11/12" expression.
    
    * doc/groff.texi (Macro Packages/ms/Document control settings):
    * tmac/groff_ms.7.man (Usage/Document control registers): Document it.
