troff(1): Fix style nits.
* Reduce bulleted list indentation.
* Be crystal clear about restrictions on -d and -r arguments.
* Clarify that page ranges given to the -o option are inclusive.
* Clarify that "-w all" is a perfectly cromulent choice for _documents_
written for AT&T troff--not just macro packages.
* Tighten wording.
