groff_man*(7): Fix style nits.
* Fire the lowercasing ray gun at "PWB/UNIX".[1]
* Use pronoun to clarify.
[1] Per AT&T Bell Labs veterans Doug McIlroy and Meg McRoberts, spelling
"Unix" in full caps was a contrivance insisted upon by AT&T lawyers,
and not a practice used in the Unix manuals themselves or the Bell
Labs Technical Journal. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2015-01/msg00026.html
and
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2015-01/msg00029.html
for support.
