The aim here (see #9020) is to produce more standard and more portable man pages. To that end: - We revert the fanciness introduced in #7506, which employs a custom font name V and a macro that makes this act like boldface in a terminal and monospace in other formats. Unfortunately, this code uses a mechanism that is not portable (and does not work in mandoc). - Instead of using V for inline code, we simply use CR. Note that `\f[CR]` is emitted instead of plain `\f[C]`, because there is no C font in man. (This produces warnings in recent versions of groff.) - For code blocks, we now use the `.EX` and `.EE` macros, together with `.IP` for spacing and indentation. This gives more standard code that can be better interpreted e.g. by mandoc.
