    man pages: Stop using .TP for ersatz tables.
    
    Remove gratuitous calculated indent setting and page-local macro ("Tp")
    often used to facilitate it.  The pages that use this trick do it as a
    way to simulate a 2-column table.
    
    This is a generalization of the fix to Savannah #53797, in which Bjarni
    Ingli Gislason noted one instance in refer(1).
    
    Impact on nroff output with 80 columns:
    
[...]
    
    src/preproc/refer/refer.1:
    * All items in the list of refer commends now have a hanging tag (some
      did before, but the overall indent was much farther to the right).
    * File paragraphs in the FILES section now have mixed hangs.

[...]
