doc/meref.me.in: Fix content nits.
* Drop word "string" from reference to macro arguments. Strings are
things you define with `ds` (`as`, etc.) and interpolate with `\*`.
* Identify `bp` as a request so the reader doesn't expect to see it
defined as part of this reference.
* Add `.p` register to summary index. We document the `pl` request
(actually intercepted by a macro, but that's supposed to be
transparent), so it makes sense to tell the user how to query the
parameter we tell them how to set; q.v. `\n(.l`, `.ll`, `.xl`.
* Use lowercase 'n' instead of 'S' as metasyntactic parameter to \s
escape sequence, to follow convention established on first page.
