Log message:
Overhaul documentation of the -offset and -width arguments to make
the macro reference section easier to read and less repetitive,
and to document these arguments more precisely in a less obtrusive place.

* Move the gory details out of the descriptions of .Bd and .Bl;
only state the defaults and recommended arguments there.
* Stop documenting -offset right and -offset center.  Neither is
implemented in mandoc(1), both are handled very poorly by groff
and almost never occur in the wild.
* Add a new WIDTH SPECIFICATIONS section after the macro reference.
