doc/groff.texi.in: Revise `write` request desc.
* When presenting multiple requests or requests stacked with other
syntax items, more scrupulously name the item we're discussing first.
* Coalesce multiple one-sentence paragraphs into a single paragraph.
* Break input lines in convenient places for roffing and diffing.
