Fix man(7) continuous rendering/tbl interaction.
Stop tbl from injecting spurious blank lines (and emitting spurious
warnings about tables and "text blocks" not "fitting on a page") into
long tables in man pages when continuous rendering is used (the default
for nroff output devices).
* src/preproc/tbl/table.cpp (USE_KEEPS_REG): New preprocessor symbol
stores name of groff register for dynamic determination of keep usage.
(table::init_output): If the NOKEEP flag is not set, then in generated
groff output, see if the usekeeps register is defined; if not, define
it and enable usage of keeps.
(table::do_row): In groff output, check usekeeps register before
calling keep and release macros.
(table::do_bottom): In groff output, check usekeeps register before
calling release macro.
* tmac/an-old.tmac (TS): Set the usekeeps register used by tbl to the
logical complement of the man(7) cR (continuous rendering) register.
Problem appears to date back to the introduction of continuous
rendering in groff 1.17 (3 May 2001).
