gropdf(1), grops(1): Update and sync § Typefaces.
* Tighten and align discussions of typefaces.
* Recast discussion of differences in special font handling.
* Annotate a fact that the deri-gropdf-ng branch will make stale.
* Favor `P` over `LP`.
* Recast sentence fragments to eliminate dangling colons (and the ':-'
bigram).
* Update poor man's keeps.
