[bug #60061] Narrow scope of groff Texinfo manual

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #60061 (project groff):

Regarding Chapter 4, Larry Kollar's ms.ms has been resurrected since I made
that proposal, and I'm working on updating it.  While of narrower scope, I
suppose it's worth explaining my tactical plan somewhere.

I'm trying to get doc/ms.ms up to date with both doc/groff.texi and
tmac/groff_ms.7.man.  The latter two are more up to date, and have usually
seen added documentation of new features added to GNU ms (the latter was
rewritten many years ago to mostly be a translation of ms.ms into man(7).

In a nutshell what I'm doing is porting topical additions to doc/ms.ms and
groff_ms(7) to doc/ms.ms, synchronizing language as far as is possible across
the three documents, and dropping examples from groff_ms(7), which already has
a cross reference to doc/ms.ms, which ships as part of the distribution.

Eventually, ms coverage will drop out of doc/groff.texi, leaving doc/ms.ms as
a user manual and groff_ms(7) as a reference.
