.MT/.ME and .UR/.UE hyperlinking for pdf output

Our documentation groff_man.7 documents that these requests are
for hyperlinks. The .pdfhref W command expects the hotspot text
to be passed as a parameter, but these pairs of requests enclose
the required text. To solve this conundrum if the given
hyperlink text to the .pdfhref request is the single pipe
character "|" then mark all following text sent for output as
the hotspot, terminate the hotspot on receipt of \X'pdf:
markend' escape. This new facility is only available using -T
pdf, not using -T ps and the pdfmark macros. Note the advice in
the gropdf man page to use \X'pdf: marksuspend' and \X'pdf:
markrestart' to protect any headers and footers becoming part of
the hotspot in case the hyperlinked text crosses a page
boundary.

* tmac/an.tmac: add code to use .pdfhref W for these hyperlinks
and protect against crossing page boundaries.

* tmac/pdf.tmac: if the given text for a hyperlink consists of
a single pipe character "|", start the hotspot and only
terminate when \X'pdf: markend' is received.

These macros are meant to produce hyperlinks (according to groff_man(7)).
