merge 1.9.16, keeping local patches
This is mostly cleanup by kristaps@ after my rather hackish patch to tolerate the non-text macros .na, .sp, .br in next-line scope; plus some nesting issues fixed by him, all in man(7). This survived a full cd /usr/src; make man.

Block macros are comprised of a head and body. Like for in-line macros,
