getgroups.2: FTM requirements fix for setgroups(2)
...
This fixes commit 51c612f
(... Update FTM requirements
(_DEFAULT_SOURCE))
This commit updated numerous pages for the _SVID_SOURCE and
_BSD_SOURCE deprecations and the new use of _DEFAULT_SOURCE.
However during this conversion for setgroups(2), _BSD_SOURCE got
replaced by _SVID_SOURCE under the 'Glibc 2.19 and earlier:'
heading.
Put it back to _BSD_SOURCE. This was confirmed by building under
a Glibc 2.17 system and using _SVID_SOURCE resulted in a
warning: implicit declaration of function ‘setgroups’
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
message. Using _BSD_SOURCE gives a clean compile.

getrandom.2: Clarify that getrandom() is not "reading" from /dev/{random,urandom}
...
The existing text is a little confusing, since it somewhat
suggests that getrandom() "reads" from the /dev/random and
/dev/urandom devices. Rather, it is drawing from the same
pools as those devices. Reword the text to clarify that.
Plus a few other wording improvements.
