[groff] [PATCH] editorial changes to NEWS

I took an editorial pass over the NEWS file in anticipation of release.

* Bump copyright range end year.
* "PDFPIC has now been corrected" -> "PDFPIC has been corrected"
* Remove unnecessary comma.
* "0behavior:-" -> "behaviour:"
* Remove space between option dash and "rPDFPIC_NOSPACE=1".
* Replace comma with em-dash for break in prose.
* Add verbs to descriptions of gropdf changes.
* Hyphenate adjective phrase "backward-compatible".
* Pull parenthetical cross references inside sentences and do not
  capitalize them as if they were sentences.
* Make indentation of gropdf news consistent with the other items.
* Turn a giant noun clause about the new configure option into a
  sentence.

I said I'd hold off on committing, so I'll leave these changes to
others' discretion.
