[PATCH 2/7] man/toe.1m: Permit tables to use the full line length.

[G. Branden Robinson]

These tables, used to present an example of command output, strain the
limits of an 80-column terminal, so tbl(1)'s default line length was too
conservative.

tbl(1):
     If w or x modifiers are not specified for all columns of a text
     block’s span, the default length of the text block (more precisely,
     the line length used to process the text block’s diversion) is
     computed as L×C/(N+1), where L is the current line length, C the
     number of columns spanned by the text block, and N the number of
     columns in the table.

These tables were using neither 'w' or 'x' modifiers, and had one
column.  Assuming an 80-column terminal, we evaluate the above
expression as (80*1)/(1+1) = 40.  On the still popular 78n terminal
width default used by man-db man(1)[1] (and mandoc(1)[2]), tbl would set
the text block with a width of 39 ens.

Thanks to Thomas Dickey for the report.
