groff_mm(7): Clarify [ABDMRV]L and BVL behavior.
All of these interface macros call other interface macros directly. Say
so to illuminate the user and to make debugging at high levels (e.g.,
-rD5) more intelligible. API macros dump their own argument lists then,
which could be surprising to a user who wonders why they appear when the
document doesn't (directly) use them. This change improves consistency
with existing documentary practice; see descriptions of `H` and `INDP`.
