[PATCH 13/30] man/*: Migrate terminology from "row" to "line".

[G. Branden Robinson]

...for consistency with other usage and particularly with the global and
environment variables "lines" and "LINES".

The form and menu libraries also use the terms "columns" and "rows", but
until I dig deeper into their programming models I don't know if it
makes sense to alter their usage similarly--possibly not, since FORM and
MENU data structures are not WINDOWs or SCREENs (or TERMINALs).
