Michael Kerrisk b458e1bfa7 getdate.3, strptime.3, locale.5: Replace "weekday" with less ambiguous language
Notwithstanding POSIX's use of the term "weekday", in everyday
English, "weekday" is commonly understood to mean a day in the
set [Monday..Friday] (vs one of the "weekend" days).

When describing e_ident, most of the EI_xxx defines mention the
exact byte number.  This is useful when manually hacking an ELF
with a hex editor.  However, the last few fields don't do this,
which means you have to count things up yourself.
Add a single word to each so you don't have to do that.
