Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
This is a conservative change. It does the same thing in weird
cases like the old one. For example, 'sleep abcd' still sleeps
for zero seconds. `sleep 10.a' and `sleep 10.05aa' do the best
and not abort (ie: 10.a == 10 seconds, 10.05a == 10.05 seconds).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
