zeertzjq a71ea81b86 vim-patch:638bbc5: runtime(doc): Update advice for [gnt]roff users
Content:
* Offer more specific guidance regarding input line breaks and sentence
  endings.
* Advise what to do when a line ends with sentence-ending punctuation
  but doesn't end a sentence.
* Advise against use of blanks lines and leading spaces for formatting
  when a macro package is in use.
* Advise how to achieve visual separation in the document without
  affecting formatting.
* Point out how the newline/end-of-sentence rules aid diffing.
* Distinguish the separate processes of inter-sentence space
  supplementation and filling.
* Use conventional (but accessible) terms from typography instead of
  more casual, approximate ones.
* Clarify what sort of extension the ms package's `XP` macro is.

Style:
* Fix comma splice with a semicolon.
* Use slightly more standard/idiomatic English.
