    [man,mdoc]: Make base paragraph indent 5n (1/2).
    
    Change base paragraph indentation to 5n.  This corresponds to the amount
    used by historical man(7) and mdoc(7) implementations going back to Unix
    Version 7 and 4.3BSD-Reno, respectively.
    
    * tmac/an.tmac: Introduce new interface register, `BP`, to control the
      base paragraph indentation amount.  Formerly, `IN` determined it _and_
      the default relative inset amount.
    
      (an-reset-margin-and-inset-level, SH, SS): Use it.
    
    * tmac/doc.tmac: Introduce `BP` register, replacing `IN`.
    * tmac/mdoc/doc-common (Sh): Use it.
    
    * src/preproc/tbl/tests/save-and-restore-tab-stops.sh:
    * tmac/tests/an-ext_SY-and-YS-work.sh:
    * tmac/tests/an_TH-repairs-hy-damage.sh:
    * tmac/tests/an_UE-breaks-before-long-URIs.sh:
    * tmac/tests/an_adjust-link-text-correctly.sh:
    * tmac/tests/an_link-macros-work-in-paragraph-tags.sh:
    * tmac/tests/an_use-input-traps-correctly.sh:
    * tmac/tests/andoc_flush-between-packages.sh:
    * tmac/tests/doc_Mt-works.sh:
    * tmac/tests/doc_indents-correctly.sh:
    * tmac/tests/doc_synopsis_is_not_adjusted.sh: Update amount of
      indentation expected in output.
