Support up to 32 macro arguments in pic (and up to 16 on EBCDIC
hosts).
* src/preproc/pic/lex.cpp (ARG1): Redefine. Update all users.
(MAX_ARG): New macro. Use it everywhere to replace hard-coded
limit of 9 arguments.
(process_body): Handle argument numbers with more than a single
digit.
(interpolate_macro_with_args): Protect against exceeding number of
arguments.
* NEWS, src/preproc/pic/pic.man, doc/pic.ms: Document it.
