Various auxiliary files used by nroff and troff -- macros, terminal
tables, font files, etc. -- have moved from subdirectories under
/usr/lib to subdirectories under /lib/troff. The purpose is mostly
to put them on the root filesystem. Root is intended to hold most
heavily-used things, and these files certainly qualify. Aside from
possible performance improvements, putting them on root also makes
it much easier for us to run without a /usr in a pinch.
The only leftover is /usr/adm/tracct, an accounting file we don't
use anyway.
I also took the opportunity to change the internal name of the format
macro set from "test" to "zoo" -- a long-overdue removal of an ancient
historical artifact.
The various subdirectories of /usr/lib will continue to exist for a
few days just in case.
