[mm]: Rename `Tcst` string to `Tcstatus`.
* contrib/mm/m.tmac: Rename API string `Tcst` to `Tcstatus` to make its
purpose less obscure. Its new name is no more lengthy than
`Letnsdef`, and the package elsewhere uses "st" to abbreviate
"string", as in the `GETST` macro. Retain the old name as an alias.
* contrib/mm/groff_mm.7.man (Strings): Document it.
* NEWS: Add item.
