    doc/ms.ms: Relocate footnote parameter discussion.
    
    (Document control settings): ...from here.
    (Footnotes): ...to here.
    
    Except for the note explaining when changes to \*[FR] take effect; this
    elaborates the "special" notation in the parameter table.
    (Unfortunately, it also duplicates the sentence.)
