doc/groff.texi: Drop stale ms-related node.
Drop "Additional ms Macros" node. It had three problems.
* It didn't (comprehensively) document "groff ms macros not appearing in
AT&T ms" as its subsubsection title claimed. Instead these are
documented where topically relevant.
* `CW` is already documented in the "Typeface and decoration" node.
* `IX`, a 4.2BSD ms extension, does not seem worth documenting (or even
supporting, but that's a separate commit). Tuthill's "A Revised
Version of -ms" (1983) doesn't document it either, and I cannot find
a 4.2BSD ms document that uses it. Perhaps it was an experimental
feature at the time.
Removing the latter two leaves the node with no substance, so drop it.
