Russ Cox 977b25a76a tmac: introduce real manual reference macro instead of overloading IR
The overloading of IR emits magic \X'...' sequences that turn into HTML manual links.
But not all such IR invocations should be manual links;
those had to be written to avoid the IR macro before.
Worse, the \X'...' ending the IR causes troff to emit only a single space after a period.

Defining a new IM macro for manual references fixes both problems.

Fixes #441.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Udpread
and
.I udpwrite
read and write UDP packets from the UDP network connection
established on file descriptor
.IR fd .
.PP
.I Udpread
reads at most
.I n
bytes of packet body into
.I data ,
stores the header in
.IR hdr ,
and returns the number of bytes stored in
.IR data .
.PP
.I Udpwrite
writes the
.I n
bytes stored in
.I data
in a UDP packet with header
.IR hdr .
.PP
Note that the
.B Udphdr
frames the addresses as local and remote
instead of source and destination.
Thus the
.I hdr
filled in for a packet read by
.I udpread
can be used unchanged in
.I udpwrite
to send a response back to the sender of the original packet.
