Details:

There's still plenty of rewriting that could be done in groff_tmac.5.man, but
I believe this patch leaves the file better than it found it.

An attempt at a Branden-style commit log message:


    * Correct erroneous reference to PSPIC where PDFPIC was intended.
    * (plagiarizing Branden from commit a8f804ff): Say "output driver"
      instead of "output device" when referring to postprocessors rather
      than the hardware that handles their output.
    * (plagiarizing Branden): Stop using "-T" as if it were part of the name
      of an output driver.  The "-T" option takes the name of an output
      driver as an argument; to pretend otherwise is pedagogically unsound.
    * Change predictions of mom's future to commentary on her past and
      present.
    * Remove spaces in .BR parameter lists that were unnecessarily bolding
      trailing punctuation.
    * Drop unnecessary hyphens ("typesetting" in place of "type-setting,"
      "run time" used nonattributively) and add clarifying ones
      ("colon-separated list").
    * Streamline and clarify clunky wording.
