Details:

(This bug was unearthed while poking into bug #60479.)

GNU pic recognizes two possible endings of a pic block: .PE or .PF.  This fact
is documented in doc/pic.ms
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/doc/pic.ms> but not in the
pic man page (src/preproc/pic/pic.1.man
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/src/preproc/pic/pic.1.man>).

The man page and pic.ms both mention that the user can use -mpic to get a
minimal implementation of the .PS and .PE macros.  This small macro file
(tmac/pic.tmac
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/tmac/pic.tmac>), however,
also does not include a .PF definition.

The attached patch remedies both of these oversights.  It also corrects pic.ms
(to note that pic passes through .PF in addition to .PE, and to remove one
unmatched closing parenthesis) and updates it (to account for the above change
to pic.tmac).
