[bug #62926] [mdoc] align styling of titles and man page cross references with man(7)

[Ingo Schwarze]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #62926 (project groff):

It seems CS, CT, D, HY, LL, LT, and S are GNU only, but cR already appeared in
4.4BSD.
So indeed, the horse is barely in sight of the barn any longer, let alone
inside of it.  No, i wasn't aware of that.

In this situation, while MF does add even more noise to the manual page (noise
which authors don't need and users will not usually even look at), it does not
seem to make the situation that much worse than it already is, it merely
continues one more step down the declining slope, as long as you don't break
.Nm.

P.S.
My concept of API is quite simple: it's the syntax and semantics described in
the manual page - because that's what users of the language need to review.
