Background: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2020-11/msg00145.html

Implement an .EM macro for compatibility with AT&T ms.

Alias .EM to pg@end-text.

In documentation, advise users to append to .EM with .am instead of redefining it, because groff ms already defines an end macro to flush pending footnotes and floating keeps.
