Historically, a comment of the following form at the top of a
manual page was used to indicate too man(1) that the use of tbl(1)
was required in order to process tables:
'\" t
However, at least as far back as 2001 (according to Branden),
man-db's man(1) automatically uses tbl(1) as needed, rendering
this comment unnecessary. And indeed many existing pages in
man-pages that have tables don't have this comment at the top of
the file. So, drop the comment from those files where it is
present.

The \" comment produces blank lines. Use the .\" that the vast
majority of the codebase uses instead.

"/bin/pwd" happens to work with the GNU coreutils implementation,
which has -P as the default, contrary to POSIX requirements.
Use "pwd -P" instead, which is shorter, easier to type, and should
work everywhere.

Clarify that it is recursive read locks on the read-write lock
that make it difficult to implement
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NP.
Update the libc-alpha URL and provide the URL to the POSIX wording
that is quoted in the comment.

Close the PID file descriptor in the example program, to hint to
the reader that like every other kind of file descriptor, a PID FD
should be closed.

msg_iovlen is incorrectly typed (according to POSIX) in addition
to msg_controllen, but unlike msg_controllen, this wasn't
mentioned for msg_iovlen.
msg_iovlen being incorrectly typed hasn't been reported as a GCC
bug, but there's no point since it is caused by the same
underlying issue.
