Bug #62901 introduced a pic .PY macro, and documented it in pic(1).
A year later, [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=a953791a
commit a953791a] also documented it in pic2graph(1) -- which made me realize
it was never documented in the GNU pic manual, doc/pic.ms. The attached patch
remedies that (stealing some wording from pic(1)).
Additionally, it:
* removes a "(1)" suffix that implied "ms" is a shell command.
* fixes a wordo: s/macro pages/macro packages/
* Changes the .PY definition in tmac/pic.tmac to call to .PF rather than
duplicating its (three bytes of) code. This is almost too trivial to DRY,
but
* the new form is a cue to the human reader that .PY is meant to be an
alias
of .PF; and
* .PE was already defined as a variant of .PF with an explicit call to
it, so
this makes the .PY definition conform to that precedent.
