[troff]: Fix Savannah #65983.
* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (file_iterator::set_location): Stop
initializing the output. Preprocessing empty documents could lead to
baffling results. In groff 1.22.4 and before, you'd get a blank
document from some output drivers despite no evident reason from the
preprocessed input that this should be the case. In groff 1.23.0,
this happened for fewer output drivers but still generated a
mysterious diagnostic.
fatal error: 'V' command invalid before first 'p' command
It turns out to be unnecessary to initialize `the_output` upon
encountering an `lf` request. The spurious output aspect of the
problem dates back to commit e092fba4517, 6 February 2000
{"groff pre-1.16"}.
