[docs]: Revise localization discussion.
* doc/groff.texi: Drop staleness-prone material about localization setup
and specific languages supported; replace with cross reference to
groff_tmac(5). This material also doesn't document the formatter per
se, and so is inappropriate for the "GNU troff reference" chapter.
* man/groff_tmac.5.man (Localization files): Add introductory sentence
summarizing their purpose. Add advice regarding the order of their
loading; thanks to Nikita Ivanov for reporting this omission.
* man/groff_tmac.5.man (Localization files):
* man/groff.7.man (Localization): Improve robustness to future
development by reorganizing and dropping version number references.
In both documents, refer to "localization files" rather than
"localization packages".
