This also replaces the local fix in r219209 that made .Ac emit
ASCII angle quotes with an official fix. In the official fix,
ASCII quotes are output when using the .Aq, .Ao and .Ac calls,
but only when nested into the .An macro.

Also remove local overrides that are now in the contrib tree.
This is a direct commit to contrib/ as we will no longer import any
newer groff snapshots, due to licensing issues.

One of the things I really want to do, is to get rid of the limitations
of our current utmp(5) mechanism:
- It only allows 8 byte TTY device names.
- The hostname only allows 16 bytes of storage.
I'm not a big fan of <utmpx.h>, but I think we should at least try to
add parts of it. Unfortunately we cannot implement <utmpx.h>, because we
miss various fields, such as ut_id, ut_pid, etc. The API provided by
libulog shares some similarities with <utmpx.h>, so it shouldn't be too
hard to port these applications eventually. In most simple cases, it
should just be a matter of removing the ulog_ prefix everywhere.
As a bonus, it also implements a function called ulog_login_pseudo(),
which allows unprivileged applications to write log entries, provided
they have a valid file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device.
libulog will allow a smoother transition to a new file format by adding
a library interface to deal with utmp/wtmp/lastlog files. I initially
thought about adding the functionality to libutil, but because I'm not
planning on keeping this library around forever, we'd better keep it
separated.
Next items on the todo list:
1. Port applications in the base system (and ports) to libulog, instead
of letting them use <utmp.h>.
2. Remove <utmp.h>, implement <utmpx.h> and reimplement this library on
top.
3. Port as many applications as possible back to <utmpx.h>.
- .Fn and .Fc now print a final semicolon (`;') after a
function declaration in the SYNOPSIS
- .%I implemented
- .At outputs ``AT&T UNIX'' if called without arguments
- minor cleanup

- spell the abbreviation of 1003.1 as ``POSIX.1''
- fixed the description of -p1003.1-90; it was sold as ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990
- removed -p1003.1b; it only existed as 1003.1b-1993 (-p1003.1b-93), and
is part of 1003.1 since 1003.1-1996.
- replaced -p1003.1g (project) with -p1003.1g-2000 (approved draft)
- changed abbreviation of -isoC from ``ISO C'' to ``ISO C89''
- removed -iso9899 alias for -isoC
- IEC was missing from some names
- added abbreviation for -susv2 (``SUSv2'')
the argument is a known FreeBSD version or not.
Output an nroff error if .Fx is used with an unknown FreeBSD version.
Change .Nx and .Ox macros to always display the argument, whether
the argument is a known version or not. This eliminates much of the
need to syncrhonize .Nx and .Ox with their source OS's -- only the
exceptions (like ".Nx 1.2a" -> "NetBSD 1.2A") where the argument is
not directly copied to the output need to be added.
