[groff]: Tweak notice in `--version` output.
* src/roff/groff/groff.cpp (main): Tweak wording of notice about
notices. Many groff users encounter it via a package, and it seems
churlish to expect distributors to rewrite this notice--though they
still might want to do so to name the _specific_ package in which they
provide the files it mentions.
