Subject: [PATCH] doc/makedefs.6: Drop redundant `br` requests

Paragraphing macros in *roff systems generally break the output line,
and the same is true of all of man(7)'s paragraphing macros.

groff_man(7):
   Paragraphing macros
     These macros break the output line.  An ordinary paragraph (P)
     indents all output lines by the same amount.  A hanging paragraph
     (HP) is a cosmetic variant of P with a hanging indent.  Definition
     lists frequently occur in man pages; these can be set as tagged
     paragraphs, which have one (TP) or more (TQ) leading tags followed
     by a paragraph that has an additional indentation.
