[bug #65962] [troff] want stack limit reduced to <=100

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #65962 (group groff):

Since the value is user-configurable, and since the reason for the default
_is_ documented (and reasonable for the reasons Branden mentioned), I agree it
shouldn't be changed.

But the source code does lack a comment where DEFAULT_INPUT_STACK_LIMIT is
defined citing the user documentation that addresses this limit.  I'm not sure
how important this is: _most_ users will look at user documentation before
browsing source code.  But there's a lot of user documentation, and some
details might not stick in one's brain, and a short comment here pointing to
the relevant part of the manual might be useful to future developers who have
spent fewer years polishing the manual than Branden has.
