groff_mom(7): Fix content, style, and markup nits.
Content:

* Revise terminology: macros are macros, not requests.
Style:
* Protect literals from hyphenation.
* Drop gratiutious styling from names of font styles.
* Favor English phrases over Latin abbreviations.
* Favor present tense over future.
Markup:
* Use two empty requests where vertical space is expected.
* Break input lines around multi-word parentheticals.
