Removed stipulation that an empty `Bd -offset' will default to 6n. Not
sure where this came about. Added regression tests to convince myself
that this is so. Also consolidated COMPATIBILITY notes regarding `Bd'.
Added COMPATIBILITY note to the effect that old groff pukes on `Bd
-compact -ragged' (regression test will fail on old groff).
