    .MT/.ME and .UR/.UE hyperlinking for pdf output
    
    Our documentation groff_man.7 documents that these requests are
    for hyperlinks. The .pdfhref W command expects the hotspot text
    to be passed as a parameter, but these pairs of requests enclose
    the required text. To solve this conundrum if the given
    hyperlink text to the .pdfhref request is the single pipe
    character "|" then mark all following text sent for output as
    the hotspot, terminate the hotspot on receipt of \X'pdf:
    markend' escape. This new facility is only available using -T
    pdf, not using -T ps and the pdfmark macros. Note the advice in
    the gropdf man page to use \X'pdf: marksuspend' and \X'pdf:
    markrestart' to protect any headers and footers becoming part of
    the hotspot in case the hyperlinked text crosses a page
    boundary.
    
    * tmac/an.tmac: add code to use .pdfhref W for these hyperlinks
    and protect against crossing page boundaries.
    
    * tmac/pdf.tmac: if the given text for a hyperlink consists of
    a single pipe character "|", start the hotspot and only
    terminate when \X'pdf: markend' is received.
