    Drop groff_filenames(5) document.

    It says nothing accurate that is not covered elsewhere.

    * contrib/groff_filenames: Delete.
    * doc/doc.am (GROFF_MAN_PAGES): Drop.
    * src/roff/groff/groff.1.man: Drop cross reference to it.
    * NEWS: Add item.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?61818>.

This page has a mixture of useful and spurious information.

File name conventions are not nearly as rigid as it suggests.

What is of value should be moved to another page, and this one
dropped.
