Programmers often make the mistake of including a feature test
macro only after having already included some header files.
This patch adds some text at opportune places to remind
programmers to do things the right way.

open.2: EFBIG error is now EOVERFLOW (since Linux 2.6.24)
...
When a 32-bit app opens a file whose size is too big to be
represented in 31-bits, POSIX.1 specifies the error EOVERFLOW.
Linux used to give EFBIG for this case, but 2.6.24 fixed this.
Also, add some text to describe the error scenario in
more detail.

open.2: minor: Fix O_CLOEXEC wording re fcntl() calls
...
The current wording suggests that only a single fcntl()
operation is needed to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag, when "proper"
usage would be fcntl(F_GETFD) + fcntl(F_SETFD) to get the
flags and then update them. So change the wording to indicate
that more than one fcntl() operation is required.
