[bug #62776] [troff] want "style" warning category for self-deceptive inputs

Heh, unless you, you know, read the manual, which states: "@samp{'br} does
nothing."  (This is actually a little easier to parse in the source, as
quoted, than in the plaintext rendering of that sentence:

''br' does nothing.

)  This information has been in the manual (though more verbosely worded)
since [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=e9b0d52d commit
e9b0d52d] in 2000.  (It's a massive commit, but the string "'br" appears in it
only once.)  Its behavior being well-defined and documented makes me think it
doesn't warrant a warning after all.
