doc/groff.texi: Fix summary of soelim's operation.
The "soelim" program is not a *roff formatter. It does not support
"requests". It is a much simpler filter program. Stop speaking of it
misleadingly. Also, the new description permits the reader to infer
that "soelim" won't alter a line matching ". so foobar.t", and indeed it
won't (and never has).
