No *roff known to me interprets arguments to the `br` request. They
don't complain, either, but some day that may change.

groff_man_style(7):
• Option dashes are specified with the \- escape sequence; this is
an important practice to make them clearly visible and to
facilitate copy‐and‐paste from the rendered man page to a shell
prompt or text file.
...
\- Minus sign. \- produces the basic Latin hyphen‐minus
(U+002D) specifying Unix command‐line options and frequently
used in file names. “-” is a hyphen in roff; some output
devices format it as U+2010 (hyphen).
...pacifying a warning from the forthcoming groff 1.25.

Aligns with other NetHack man pages and fixes:
$ nroff -ww -z -rCHECKSTYLE=4 -man doc/*.[67]
an.tmac:doc/mnh.7:2: style: .TH missing fourth argument; suggest package/project name and version (e.g., "groff 1.23.0")
Replace instances of blank line paragraphing with `PP` macro calls.
There are three problems with the style of paragraphing that this commit
fixes.
1. A `br` break request is redundant with an adjacent blank text line.
2. A `br` request is also redundant with a paragraphing macro call.
3. When you use a paragraphing macro call instead of a blank text line,
you get the configured amount inter-paragraph space. When
typesetting with the man(7) package, the default inter-paragraph
space amount is 0.4v. A blank text line usually puts 1v of empty
space into the document.
See groff_man_style(7).

Unix terminal drivers started transitioning away from paper terminals
and toward video terminals, and therefore away from '#' and '@' as the
"erase" and "kill" characters, respectively, before NetHack was born.
groff_man_style(7):
Portability
...
\e Format the roff escape character on the output; widely
used in man pages to render a backslash glyph. It works
reliably as long as the “ec” request is not used, which
should never happen in man pages, and it is slightly more
portable than the more explicit \[rs] (“reverse solidus”)
special character escape sequence.
This change's purpose is to put things right in case the change I'm
proposing next to delete this language entirely gets reverted.
Also fix a case hidden by a comment.
Fixes:
$ nroff -ww -z -man doc/*.[67]

Bug report stated:
"If 'mention_decor' is set in config file or NETHACKOPTIONS,
starting the game tells you that you are standing on stairs
which lead out of the dungeon. But if you also start the
tutorial, you won't be on those stairs--they won't even exist
until the tutorial is exited.
The stairs message can't be suppressed until the program
knows whether the tutorial will be entered, and since
prompting is one of the ways to decide that."
What this does:
Don't heed mention_decor option during the primary rcfile()
processing.
Do heed it after the tutorial.
Note:
If mention_decor is expected to actually be active during the
tutorial, then the rcfile_only_this_option(opt_mention_decor)
likely has to be moved to a different line, which should be
easy enough.
The previous fix, while valid, still prompts for input during early
options processing if stdin is a tty. It really shouldn't be doing
that during early options such as --showpaths, so alter the placement
of the program_state.earlyoptions flag within *main().
GitHub issue https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/issues/1513
Starting a new game, at the
'Shall I pick character's race, role, gender and alignment for you? [ynaq]'
prompt, the game shows as 'Version 5.0.0-0 Unix Work-in-progress'
but then once the game has started and you check #version you see
the correct 'Unix NetHack Version 5.0.0-0 post-release' feedback.
Closes#1513

I need to commit this to the repository to test it elsewhere.
If there isn't a revert shortly after this, it must have at least
built without issue.
Detect Workbench depth, display-database MaxDepth, and free chip RAM;
if any signals AMIV can't run (e.g. A1000 with 4-colour WB), swap
windowprocs to amii_procs before opening any screens.
SYSCF is for multi-user system-admin lockdown; single-user Amigas
don't need it, and assure_syscf_file() killing the binary when run
outside NetHack: was breaking normal launches.
Reference __stkinit so the linker pulls swapstack.o from libnix.a;
without it the program runs on the inherited shell stack and crashes
inside Lua / level-gen.
