Remove unnecessary Tn.

I have seen (way too often) uses of test(1) that are not defined to
actually work (but just happen to, today, and in some cases, even
that trusts to some luck.)

It has been recently pointed out to me that the man page (ie: this
file) doesn't give any real guidance to what is really acceptable,
and what is not.

The CAVEATS section does note that the grammar is ambiguous, but then
just says that test(1) implements what POSIX requires, and refers
readers to the relevant section of the POSIX standard for more details.
That is probably asking too much of the average reader...

So, add some extra information in the CAVEATS with what is defined to work,
and what should be avoided. Not all of the POSIX rules are here, but this
might hopefully help script authors avoid some of the pitfalls.

Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.

Document the version test first appeared.
Bump date.

usage nit

- Remove unneeded consecutive argument in `.Nm' macros;
- rename `GRAMMAR AMBIGUITY' section to `CAVEATS', and move it to
correct location;
- bump date.

Correct usage for parentheses, and mark up "expression" in more places.

Remove leading zero in Dd argument.

Note that all file tests with the exception of -h and -L follow symbolic
links and thus evaluate the test for the file pointed at.

Fix markup.

branches: 1.23.20;
Use the same wording for '-p' as for other file related tests.

Revert previous (==) - not worth the trouble.

Bump date for previous.

Allow '==' as synonym to '=', just like our ksh and bash do.
This also affects the sh(1) builtin test command.

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.
