Changes to magrep.1

- Try not to use 'messages msgs'
- 'matches' instead of 'instead match'
- 'specified' instead of 'passed'
- Clarify default use of current sequence
- Simplify some language used
- List '-p' output in the order it is printed
- Remove superfluous 'the'
- Bring EXIT STATUS in line with '.Ex -std'

Closes: #42 [via git-merge-pr]
