    [docs]: Fix erroneous claim about end of input.
    
    The end of input does not cause a "break" as we use the term; a break
    advances the vertical drawing position (or causes a page break and
    resets the vertical drawing position to the page top).
    
    * doc/groff.texi:
    * man/roff.7.man: Clarify.
    
    Thanks to Deri James for the discussion.

 What if the file ends before enough words have been collected to fill an
 output line?  Or the output line is exactly full but not yet broken, and
-there is no more input?  GNU @code{troff} interprets the end of input as
-a break.  Certain requests also cause breaks, implicitly or explicitly.
