doc/ms.ms: Fix thinko.
\m[] and \M[] restore previous values, not defaults. groff has no way
of knowing what a terminal's default foreground and background colors
are; if it did, we could fix one of the weaknesses of the BX macro in
nroff mode, and choose different colors with which to "box" the text.
