Radical cleanup of COMPATIBILITY sections:

Remove lots of lies, dozens of irrelevant implementation details,
and all references to groff versions older than 1.17.  Move relevant
information to the pages where it belongs, and out of mandoc(1) in
particular.  Add some missing general remarks to roff(7), where it
fits the character and purpose of the page much better.
