[mm]: Recognize new vertical spacing register `V`.
* contrib/mm/m.tmac (initialization): Recognize new register `V` for
setting the vertical spacing from the command line, instead of blindly
setting the vertical spacing two points larger than the type size.
Handle setting of `V` and type size `S` in case they are given with an
appended scaling unit, using the same technique as groff ms(7)--if the
values are over 1,000, assume that conversion to basic units by the
formatter has already taken place.
* contrib/mm/groff_mm.7.man (Registers) <S, V>: Document it.
* NEWS: Add item.
