[PATCH 067/177] man/tput.1: Fix style nit.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 067/177] man/tput.1: Fix style nit.
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 11:25:27 -0600

Set command names in italics, not bold, when referring to them
generically (as in the "PORTABILITY" and "HISTORY" sections), as opposed
to the ncurses topic/implementation.
