[groff]: Make `-I` stop implying `-g` and `-s`.
To date, specifying `-I` has been the only way (employing only groff(1))
as a pipeline manager, a usage we strongly encourage) to get an `-M`
option of the same meaning to grn.
However, we didn't know, simply from the user's specification of `-I`,
that they meant to pass a `-M` option to grn. Maybe they meant it for
soelim(1). Maybe they don't need preprocessors at all.
With grn(1) now accepting `-I`, groff(1) no longer needs to synthesize
`-g` and `-s` to cover these bases. If the user demands these the
grn(1) and soelim(1) preprocessors, they can specify their options,
consistently with other groff preprocessors support a command-line
option.
