doc/groff.texi.in: Improve tab/leader example.
Make it more illustrative of (1) the point about the tab stops being
measured from the drawing position corresponding to the beginning of the
input line and (2) the fact that a input line break (when filling) is
equivalent to a space.
Also drop spaces from input. They could be misleading.
