doc/groff.texi: Fix content and style nits.
* doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Hyphenation):
- Say "breakable" instead of "broken" to reinforce the notion of break
points as circumstantial.
- Expand passing mention of scope of hw request; it's all further
processing in a run of the formatter, not just the current
"document".
- Fix misplaced modifier.
