[ms]: Drop use of undefined term, fix error.
* We don't define what a "highlighting" macro is, and it's not a useful term anyway. * Clarify that typeface-changing macros (.B, .I, .R, .BI, .CW), when used without arguments, persist until another no-argument version of them is encountered, instead of another "highlighting" macro, which could be construed to include these same face macros used _with_ arguments. * Clarify that the type size changing macros' effect is not cancelled by "highlighting" macros. Typeface changes persist.
