    doc/groff.texi: Fix style nits.
    
    * Say "GNU troff" instead of "gtroff".
    * Stop using grave accent as an opening single quote in examples.
    * Update diagnostic message in example to match current wording.
    * Use U.S.-style quotation.
    * Remove Texinfo @codequote* commands, marking nodes as reviewed for
      apostrophe and grave accent usage in examples.
