In theory, Kristaps never intended to write a roff parser,
but in practice, most real legacy man(7)uals are using so much
low level roff that we can't really get away without at least
partially handling some roff instructions.

As doing this in man(7) only has become messy and as even some
mdoc(7) pages need it, start a minimal partial roff preprocessor.
As a first step, move handling of .am[i], .de[i] and .ig there.
Do not use the roff preprocessor for new manuals!

Now that we have three main parser libraries - roff, man and mdoc -
each one having its own error handling is becoming messy, too.
Thus, start unifying message handling in one central place,
introducing a new generic function mmsg().
