    doc/groff.texi: Fix content and style nits.
    
    * doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Hyphenation):
      - Say "breakable" instead of "broken" to reinforce the notion of break
        points as circumstantial.
      - Expand passing mention of scope of hw request; it's all further
        processing in a run of the formatter, not just the current
        "document".
      - Fix misplaced modifier.
