doc: italicize meta-identifers in nroff mode.
* txr.1 (meta, metn, gets): In nroff mode, don't just add angle brackets around meta symbols, but also typeset them in italic using \fI...\fP. This is useful because the output of man can be colorized when viewed using the less pager. If these symbols are italicized, then they get colored differently from surrounding text. We keep the angle brackets because it helps these words stand out as "meta" in the absence of color.
