...with aliases in the stock _troffrc_ for compatibility.
We are (now) pretty consistent about using the term "stroke color" for what
the `gcolor` request, `\m` escape sequence, and `.gcolor` read-only register
manipulate and report.
Migrate from "gcolor" to "scolor" for an easier mnemonic experience.
Moot this idea on the _groff_ mailing list after the 1.26 development cycle
starts.
