groff 1.23.0 added .MR to its -man macro package.  The NEWS file states
that the inclusion of the macro "was prompted by its introduction to
Plan 9 from User Space's troff in August 2020."  From d32deab it seems
that the name for Plan 9 from User Space's implementation was suggested
by groff maintainer G. Brandon Robinson.

Not sure if the intention was to make these definitions compatible, but
it would be nice if they were.

Currently, Plan 9 from User Space's .MR expects its second argument to
be parenthesized.  groff's .MR does not.  This results in extra
parentheses appearing in manual references when viewing Plan 9 from User
Space's manual pages on a system using groff.

Programs that want to background themselves now need
to define threadmaybackground returning 1.
This avoids a confusing (to people and debuggers)
extra parent process for all the threaded programs
that will never want to background themselves.

<title>tmac: introduce real manual reference macro instead of overloading IR</title>

<id>977b25a76ae8263e53fb4eb1abfc395769f23e3d</id>
<content type='text'>
The overloading of IR emits magic \X'...' sequences that turn into HTML manual links.
But not all such IR invocations should be manual links;
those had to be written to avoid the IR macro before.
Worse, the \X'...' ending the IR causes troff to emit only a single space after a period.

Defining a new IM macro for manual references fixes both problems.

Fixes #441.
