Remove some incorrect data from mandoc.1 (that of non-macro lines and

spacing, which is for mdoc.7/man.7 anyway).  Also document -Opage=xxx
and push the per-output options into the output subsections.  Makes the
manual shorter and more readable.

-In general, output conforms to the traditional manual style of a header,
-a body composed of sections and sub-sections, and a footer.
-.Pp
-The text style of output characters (non-macro characters, punctuation,

-.Pp
-White-space is generally stripped from input.
-This can be changed with
-character escapes (specified in
-.Xr mandoc_char 7 )
-or literal modes (specified in
-.Xr mdoc 7
-and
-.Xr man 7 ) .
-.Pp
-If non-macro punctuation is set apart from words, such as in the phrase
-.Dq to be \&, or not to be ,
-it's processed by
