Clean up in preparation for "MR sed".
Format only one man page cross reference per input line.
Also, since groff 1.23.0 (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.
