groff_mm(7): Fix erroneous `ML` description.
* contrib/mm/groff_mm.7.man (Macros) <ML>: Fix error; the default text
indentation is computed from the width of the specified mark, and uses
neither register `Li` nor `Pi` as other list types do. Incorrect
claim appears to date back to groff 1.10, 26 November 1995.
