The Linux kernel uses 'unsigned int' instead of 'int' for the
'flags' parameter. As glibc provides no wrapper, use the same
type the kernel uses.

Various pages: Normalize SYNOPSIS notes about nonexistent glibc wrappers
...
To easily distinguish documentation about glibc wrappers from
documentation about kernel syscalls, let's have a normalized
'Note' in the SYNOPSIS, and a further explanation in the page body
(NOTES in most of them), as already happened in many (but not all)
of the manual pages for syscalls without a wrapper. Furthermore,
let's normalize the messages, following membarrier.2 (because it's
already quite extended), so that it's easy to use grep to find
those pages.
To find these pages, we used:
$ grep -rn wrapper man? | sort -V
and
$ grep -rni support.*glibc | sort -V
delete_module.2, init_module.2: glibc 2.23 is no longer
maintained, so we changed the notes about wrappers, to say that
there are no glibc wrappers for these system calls; see NOTES.
We didn't fix some obsolete pages such as create_module.2.

Various pages: Remove explicit blank lines, replacing them with .PP when appropriate
...
Rationale:
$ man 7 man-pages 2>/dev/null | sed -n /Paragraphs/,/^$/p
Paragraphs should be separated by suitable markers (usually
either .PP or .IP). Do not separate paragraphs using blank
lines, as this results in poor rendering in some output
formats (such as PostScript and PDF).
Fix:
$ sed -i -e '1,/^\.EX/s/^$/.PP/' -e '/^\.EE/,/^\.EX/s/^$/.PP/' man?/*
And then some manual adjustments.

syscall.2: Update superh syscall convention
...
I noticed this while working on some silly "hello, world"
programs, see https://git.sr.ht/~phf/hello-again if you're
curious. Disassembling sh4 code showed trap #31 all over the
place but the syscall(2) man page talked about trap #0x17 and
friends. Checking the kernel sources I got lucky in
arch/sh/kernel/entry-common.S where in commit 3623d138213ae Rich
Felker clarifies the situation.
