src/roff/grog/subs.pl: Don't use "exists" on array values

1) perlfunc(1) warns against using "exists" on array values.
Use "defined" instead.

  This avoids the use of defined macros as indicators for a
particular macro package.

  The ".TL" macro for 'ms'-files is thus available as an indicator.

  This is a correction of patch #59664, 3th item.

2) Remove inline comments.

  Otherwise the comment can be included in the name of a defined macro.
  Seen in the file "doc/meref.me" with the line

.de TL                  \" *** title line

3) Do not remove the beginning line of a macro definition (.de...).

  Defined macros must be excluded from being used as indicators for a
particular macro package.

  A correction of the patch in #59622.
