echo.1: add a note about other echo implementations

The other BSDs all have a note reminding that many shells have their
own internal echo implementations which may vary from this utility, so
add one. (Much of the wording is borrowed from FreeBSD's man page.)

(The other BSDs also have notes about the -n option not really being
portable, and printf[1] being preferable, we might want to add
something about that, too.)

Use Ex.

Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.

While the v2 source and man pages are incomplete, TUHS has a scanned copy of the
printed version of the 2nd edition manual. echo is featured in this copy.

appropriate (and documented in mdoc(7)).
