usr.bin/make Use .Nm without args and remove unnessidary Ns macros in make.1
The `.Nm' macro is used for the document title or subject name. It
has the peculiarity of remembering the first argument it was called
with, which should always be the subject name of the page. When
called without arguments, `.Nm' regurgitates this initial name for
the sole purpose of making less work for the author.
