George Koehler f91bc2804d Tune the installed manual pages.
This commit slightly improves the formatting of the manuals.  My
OpenBSD machine uses mandoc(1) to format manuals.  I check the manuals
with `mandoc -T lint` and fix most of the warnings.  I also make
other changes where mandoc didn't warn me.

roff(7) says, "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an input
line," but we often forgot this rule.  I insert some newlines after
sentences that had ended mid-line.

roff(7) also says that blank lines "are only permitted within literal
contexts."  I delete blank lines.  This removes some extra blank lines
from mandoc's output.  If I do want a blank line in the output, I call
".sp 1" to make it in man(7).  If I want a blank line in the source,
but not the output, I put a plain dot "." so roff ignores it.

Hyphens used for command-line options, like \-a, should be escaped by
a backslash.  I insert a few missing backslashes.

mandoc warns if the date in .TH doesn't look like a date.  Our manuals
had a missing date or the RCS keyword "$Revision$".  Git doesn't
expand RCS keywords.  I put in today's date, 2017-01-18.

Some manuals used tab characters in filled mode.  That doesn't work.
I use .nf to turn off filled mode, or I use .IP in man(7) to make the
indentation without a tab character.

ack(1) defined a macro .SB but never used it, so I delete the
definition.  I also remove a call to the missing macro .RF.

mandoc warns about empty paragraphs.  I deleted them.  mandoc also
warned about these macro pairs in anm(1):

    .SM
    .B text

The .SM did nothing because the .B text is on a different line.  I
changed each pair to .SB for small bold text.

I make a few other small changes.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Anm
prints the name list (symbol table) of each ack.out(5) format object
.I file
in the argument list.
If an argument is an aal(1) or arch(1) archive,

If no
.I file
is given, the symbols in
`a.out'

and a type indicator.
A section indicator can be
.SB U

The output is sorted alphabetically.

.TP
.B \-n
Sort numerically rather than alphabetically.
.TP
