[docs]: Fix legally-suggestive content nit.
* Characterize GNU troff and GNU ms as "independent reimplementations",
because they are. Drop adjective "original" from characterization of
AT&T code, not because it does not apply, but because we do not want
to suggest that our code is any less original. (_Design_ and
_interface_ can be another story; see roff(7) for a history that
predates AT&T's foray into computer-driven typesetting.)
Also spell "reimplementation" without a hyphen, for consistency with our
other docs.
