G. Branden Robinson 4eeab8824d doc/Guidebook.txt: Update table annotations ...

Explain behavior of GNU tbl when setting boxed tables on terminals.
Drop reference to bug fixed in groff 1.23.0
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49390>.

There's not much to say about other tbls except that they handle boxed
tables _terribly_ on terminals.

$ cat ./hello-table.roff
.TS
box;
L.
hello
.TE
$ ./bin/tbl ./hello-table.roff|./bin/nroff|cat -s # Heirloom Doctools
_______
 hello
_______
|
|     |

DWB tbl behaves the same way.  I expect all System V Unix-descended
tbls/nroffs do the same.
