NEWS: Tweak English localization item.
Pull the more important (or at least the more broadly-scoped) material
forward. First, here's how to change the default input language for
documents; second, here's how the default hyphenation mode for English
has changed.

o English localization has been split into a dedicated macro file,
en.tmac, for better parallelism with other localization files and to
- improve support for multilingual documents. The default hyphenation
- mode (as used by the .hy request) for users of English is thus changed
- from "1", which was inappropriate for the TeX-based hyphenation
- patterns groff has used since at least 1991, to "4". However,
- invoking .hy without an argument remains synonymous with ".hy 1".
-
- Those who want a different default input language should edit the
- troffrc file to source the desired groff locale macro file (cs.tmac,
- de.tmac, den.tmac, fr.tmac, it.tmac, ja.tmac, sv.tmac, zh.tmac)
- instead of en.tmac.

o A new read-only register ".cp" is implemented. Within a .do request,
"\n[.cp]" holds the saved value of compatibility mode. See
