    [build]: Kill off Ghostscript availability notice.
    
    * m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_AVAILABILITY_NOTICE): Delete.
    
    * configure.ac: Stop interpolating same.
    
    Completes (the revised) "action item D" from <https://lists.gnu.org/\
    archive/html/groff/2026-02/msg00004.html>.  I've abandoned "action item
    B".
