This corrects misinformation in

  • the m-code docs: M19 does not use encoder index.
  • the 'orient.comp' man page: Function description does not match the current code.

See https://forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/59064-m19-orientation-drift-with-external-encoder-and-orient-component-linuxcnc-2-9-4#348461

The relevant logic was changed in Commit b2cd764 but the man page was not updated.
The Functionality of the logic is likely easier to understand by looking at the code.
