groff_man*(7): Clarify \n[FT], .BT, .PT.
* <BT, PT>: Characterize what a typical definition would look like.
Emphasize that these macros handle header and footer "text", in
distinction to all the other environment and trap rigamarole that an
experienced *roff user might suspect is involved.
* <FT>: Document that register is ignored when continuously rendering.
