- explicit blocks with missing end macro should be implicitely closed

NEEDS MERGING TO bsd.lv

- implement blank `Bl -column', such as

.Bl -column

.It foo Ta bar

.El

- explicitly disallow nested `Bl -column', which would clobber internal

flags defined for struct mdoc_macro

- set a meaningful default if no `Bl' list type is assigned

- have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke

* performance issues

************************************************************************

Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster. These are

- cache `Bd' display types as `Bl' types are cached (this primarily

improves code-size by removing the a2disp type functions)

- improve caching mechanism to handle other per-element arguments so

that they need not be recalculated between front- and back-ends (also

reduces code size and complexity)

- improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance)

- improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important)
