Dmitri Vereshchagin 10564b1175 tmac/tmac.an: define .MR in a groff compatible way
groff 1.23.0 added .MR to its -man macro package.  The NEWS file states
that the inclusion of the macro "was prompted by its introduction to
Plan 9 from User Space's troff in August 2020."  From d32deab it seems
that the name for Plan 9 from User Space's implementation was suggested
by groff maintainer G. Brandon Robinson.

Not sure if the intention was to make these definitions compatible, but
it would be nice if they were.

Currently, Plan 9 from User Space's .MR expects its second argument to
be parenthesized.  groff's .MR does not.  This results in extra
parentheses appearing in manual references when viewing Plan 9 from User
Space's manual pages on a system using groff.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Freq
reads the given files (default standard input)
and prints histograms of the character frequencies.
By default,
.I freq
counts each byte as a character;
under the

option it instead counts
.SM UTF

.PP
Each non-zero entry of the table is printed preceded by the byte value,
in decimal, octal, hex, and

character (if printable).
If any options are given, the
.BR -d ,
.BR -x ,
.BR -o ,
