groff_mm(7): Fix solecism and style nits.
* An internal reference is not a "cross" reference.
* Favor active voice over passive.
* Explain list item content more precisely. (List item text _could_ be
populated exclusively by control lines.)
* Fix missing conjunction.
* Clarify that an `HU` call implies `LC`.
* Fix unescaped hyphen.
