Implementing two new requests .tm1 and .tmc: The former is similar

to .tm but can output leading spaces; its syntax is similar to
defining a string, i.e., a `"' can be used to mark the beginning of
the string to be written to stderr: `.tm1 " test'.  The latter is
similar to .tm1 but doesn't write out a final newline character.

* src/roff/troff/input.cc (terminal1, terminal_continue,
do_terminal): New functions.
(init_input_requests): Use them.
* src/roff/troff/troff.man, NEWS, man/groff.man: Updated.


* tmac/groff_mdoc.samples.man: Small fixes.


* tmac/groff_mdoc.man: Fixing typo.
