groff_man_style(7): Improve customization example.
* It's better to model a minimal alteration for the user; if one doesn't
want to alter the minimal inter-word space size, one shouldn't specify
it, and if one can't avoid specifying it, one should interpolate its
current value rather than assuming it has its default value.
* This leaves us room to change the `ss` request to accept proper
measurement arguments in the future, rather than the bespoke "twelfths
of an em". See Savannah #68256.
