* tmac/an-old.tmac: Implementing the -rcR switch (similar to mdoc);

if -rcR1 (which is now the default in nroff mode), a single, very
long page is created instead of multiple pages: All `.ne' and `.wh'
requests are put into conditionals; a new macro `an-end' is added to
be called with `.em'.

Some other minor cleanups.

* NEWS, tmac/groff_man.man, doc/groff.texinfo: Updated.
