Setting "Discussion Lock" to "Locked".

There is no point in discussing this further,
gbranden@ already said all that is needed.

Hey,  if  you  want  to  turn  away  (and  dissuade!)  free,
good-faith, impersonal, high-quality work in order to stroke
your ego, then that's your business.

I'll repeat myself:

Sincerely,
Michael Witten

Rejecting; no one on the groff team is willing to work with Mr. Witten in light of his conduct in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?54114 .

If someone would like to undertake the adventure, this ticket can be reopened.

Here is the commit message:

  $ git log -1 --format=%B
  groff.texi, groff(7), groff_char(7): Overhaul underlining

  * Make the terminology a bit more consistent and precise; for
    example, "underlining" is used instead of "an underline".

  * Explain why it matters in which order 2 characters participate in
    overstriking.

  * Provide superior example macros for performing underlining via
    overstriking.

  * Document "\_", "\[ul]", "\[ru]", and "\[br]" more completely.

  * Note what happens when one "ul" request is made while another
    "ul" request is still in effect.

  * In the course of these edits:

    . Use the "nop" request to clarify the "box" macro example.
    . Re-write "zero width space" as "zero-width space".
    . Replace a couple uses of "See @ref" with "@xref".
    . Generally improve the surrounding prose.
    . Improve surrounding index terms.
