Clean up in preparation for "MR sed".

Format only one man page cross reference per input line.

Also, groff 1.23.0's (and Plan 9 from User Space's) `MR` is not a font
style alternation macro; there is no "reversed" form as with `BR` and
`RB`.  So when a man page cross reference must be immediately preceded
by punctuation, put that punctuation on the previous text line and use
the `\c` escape sequence to connect them.

v3: Resubmitted; no change to part 1/2.
