[mdoc]: Use bold for `Li` on terminal devices.
* tmac/mdoc/doc-nroff (doc-Li-Font): Switch from roman to bold. On
typesetters, the use of Courier (roman) plainly distinguishes unquoted
literals from their context. On terminals there was no such visible
distinction. Fortunately, in groff_mdoc(7) itself, this does not
result in a blinding blitz of boldface because the `Ql` (quoted
literal) macro is so often used, and it maintains the roman style.
This change further aligns groff mdoc(7) with groff man(7) style
conventions. (Also see how we handle literals for typesetters and
terminals in the "ms.ms" document.)
