clone.2: Small rewording of explanation of clone() wrt threads
Clone has so many effects that it's an oversimplification to say that the *main* use of clone is to create a thread. (In fact, the use of clone() to create new processes may well be more common, since glibc's fork() is a wrapper that calls clone().) Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
