man: allow nroff and tbl commands be overridden; unmangle writing to files
Parse this in config files:
DEFINE col ...
DEFINE tbl ...
DEFINE nroff ...
Add width options to nroff command line.
Use "tbl", not "gtbl", as default tbl command.
Export GROFF_NO_SGR=1 and use "col -b -p -x" instead of pager when writing to file.

+Replacing "DEFINE nroff nroff -mandoc" in /etc/man_db.conf

+Redirecting to a pipe or file sets GROFF_NO_SGR=1 to prevent color escapes,
+and uses "col -b -p -x" instead of pager, this filters out backspace
+and underscore tricks.
