[bug #63046] [mdoc] handle rendering option strings and registers as man(7) does

[G. Branden Robinson]

Update of bug #63046 (project groff):

         Planned Release:                    None => 1.23.0

Follow-up Comment #3:

There is significant overlap between this bug and bug #62926.  They are
distinguishable, but many of the command-line options supported by man(7)
affect rendering.

Strictly, I reckon this ticket should get updated for any such options
implemented in mdoc(7); those which affect the formatted appearance of man
pages should also be logged in bug #62926, and those which aren't
parameterized in options but affect rendering (like the typefaces used by the
`Nm` and `Pa` macros, for instance), should be logged _only_ in bug #62926.

It looks like only a handful of man(7) options remain to get mdoc(7) parity:
HF, FT, P, X, and MF.
