[man]: Drop empty `DS`, `DE` macro definitions.
* tmac/an-ext.tmac (DS, DE): Drop (empty) macro definitions, introduced
in groff 1.20 (January 2009).
* NEWS: Document this. Technically, it's an interface change. Any man
page calling these macros (without defining them itself) will prompt
warnings if GNU troff is given the `-wmac` option (or equivalent).
This change will make it easier to identify pages that "use" the `DS`
and `DE` macros (pointlessly for the past 15+ years).
