groff_font(5): Fix content nits.
* Clarify that `\N` escape sequence glyph indices must be non-negative.
* Say simply "HTML 4" instead of "HTML 4.0"; the W3C/WHATWG schism seems
to have killed any prospect of HTML 4's incremental revision, at least
among any party with a commercial orientation, form whom end users'
security and privacy are bugs, not features.[1]
