[PATCH 146/177] man/curs_termattrs.3x: Revise "RETURN VALUE" section.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 146/177] man/curs_termattrs.3x: Revise "RETURN VALUE" section.
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 11:40:15 -0600

Content:
* Drop mention of SVr4's loose specification of return values, to be
  resurrected in a subsequent commit.

Markup:
* Protect literals from hyphenation.
* Favor man(7) font style macros over *roff font selection escape
  sequences, except for man page cross references (because
  man/make_sed.sh recognizes only certain patterns when rewriting such
  cross references) and terms in the "NAME" section (because the
  generated edit_man.sh script expects font selection escape sequences
  when scraping terms thence to gather names for man page aliases).
