    doc/groff.texi: Fix error in .rfschar description.

    ...which should refer to "font f" rather than "glyph f".  Thanks to Dave
    Kemper for the report and the patch.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?58767>.

    And make some style tweaks in the neighborhood.

    * doc/groff.texi (Using Symbols): As above.  Also, recast to stop ending
      a sentence with an ellipsis, which I dislike.  Describe space among cn
      arguments as "optional", which is more idiomatic than saying that
      whitespace is "possible".

    * man/groff.7.man (.rfschar):
    * man/groff_diff.7.man (.rfschar): More closely parallelize with our
      Texinfo manual.

    * man/groff.7.man (.rfschar): And set ellipsis in roman, not italics.
      God, I hate that.  It's like the Ludovico Treatment.

    * tmac/groff_man.7.man: Add comments explaining deviation from
      non-quotation of escape sequences.

groff(7) describes the .rfschar request as: "Remove the definitions of entities c1, c2, ... for font f."  The Texinfo manual, however, describes it as "removes glyph definitions defined with 'fschar' for glyph f."

Since "glyph f" makes less sense in this context than "font f," I presume the info manual is the one in error.  Attached patch fixes this.
