Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>

doc/groff.texi.in: Drop inaccurate claims.
The `cc` and `c2` requests do not throw diagnostics when invoked
nilpotently.
Illustration:
$ printf '.cc .\n' | ~/groff-1.24.2/bin/groff -ww 2>&1 | grep . \
|| echo NO OUTPUT
NO OUTPUT
$ printf ".c2 '\n" | ~/groff-1.24.2/bin/groff -ww 2>&1 | grep . \
|| echo NO OUTPUT
NO OUTPUT
