If the body of a man(7) .MT or .UR block is empty, do not emit a warning.
Leaving the body empty is legitimate in this case if the author only
wants to display a mail address or URI without providing a link text.
Output modules already handle this correctly: terminal output shows
just the URI without an accompanying text, HTML output uses the URI
for *both* the href= attribute and as the content of the <a> element.

The documentation was also wrong and claimed that an .MT or .UR block
with an empty body would produce no output.  As explained above,
this isn't true.
