Subject: common.roff: Changed string causes warning in ".substring ..."

troff: ../contrib/hdtbl/examples/common.roff:201: warning: end index of
substring out of range, set to string length

checked.

.\" Since this just generates example output, we don't need good randomness;
.\" basing this purely on the time and not on the process ID allows better
.\" integration with reproducible builds.
.\" .ds random-s1 \n[minutes]\n[seconds]\n[$$]\n[hours]\"
.ds random-s1 \n[minutes]\n[seconds]\n[hours]\"
.\" prevent overflow
.substring random-s1 0 8
