Update of bug #66835 (group groff):

                Category:                    Core => General
                 Summary: Allow setting page size within the document => allow
changing the page dimensions mid-document

Follow-up Comment #2:

Re-categorizing as "General", since I think this would necessitate changes to
all full-service macro packages **except** _mom_.

I'm not sure any formatter changes per se would be necessary; `pl`, `ll` and
`po` requests already exist, as do means of sending device control extensions
to the output.  But a review of GNU _troff_ and the output drivers' code is is
a prerequisite for that determination.

Macro packages might need to recompute trap locations, or re-validate that the
page is large enough to accommodate them.
