Changes since 1.187: +14 -5 lines
Diff to previous 1.187 (unified) to selected 1.179 (unified)

Change the footer line to always show NAME(SECTION) on the right hand side.

The main reason for this change is to restore compatibility with groff-1.23,
which changed from showing the operating system in this place to showing
the page name in groff commit 5e9c49e1 (gbranden@ Sep 6, 2022).
It also agrees better with what man(7) has done in groff
since groff commit f1eb5d22 (wl@ Mar 20, 2001).

The change also makes sense from a user perspective.
At the end of a page, seeing the page name matters more than at the
beginning, where the NAME section is always visible anyway.
The user is not losing information because the operating system
remains visible on the left hand side of the footer.
