[bug #61348] [troff] assertion in env.cpp:distribute_space() has to come out

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #61348 (project groff):

  This happens when the selected adjustment is NOT just to the left
margin.

I have changed the default adjustment to the left one in my code.

Adjustment to both margins does not make sense with nroff,
 and should therefore NOT be the default for nroff and man pages,
 for example by using ".ds AD l" and ".ad l" in tmac files.

Especially for a long single word, like web addresses (URL).
