Make the formatting more consistent inside the tables in the
ATTRIBUTES sections. Make the source code more uniform; in
particular, eliminate the use of custom tweaks using
'lbwNN'/'lwNN' and .br macros. In addition, ensure that
hyphenation and text justification do not occur inside the tables.
This is a script-driven edit:
[[
PAGE_LIST=$(git grep -l 'SH ATTRIBUTES' man[23])
# Strip out any preexisting .sp/.br/.ad macros
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/{/^\.sp/d; /^\.br/d; /\.ad/d}' $PAGE_LIST
# Eliminate any use of 'wNN' in tables; default first column
# to fill unused space
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/s/lbw[0-9]*/lb/g' $PAGE_LIST
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/s/lw[0-9]*/l/g' $PAGE_LIST
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/s/^lb /lbx /' $PAGE_LIST
# Nest the tables inside ".ad l"+".nh" and ".hy"+".ad"+".sp 1"
# ".ad l" ==> no right justification of text in table cells
# ".nh" ==> No hyphenation in table cells
# ".sp 1" ==> ensure a blank line before the next section heading
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/{/\.TS/i.ad l\n.nh
}' $PAGE_LIST
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/{/\.TE/a.hy\n.ad\n.sp 1
}' $PAGE_LIST
# In a few of the tables, the third column has a lot of text, so
# make that column wide (rather than the first column)
sed -i '/^lbx/{s/lbx/lb/;s/lb$/lbx/}' \

Different source styles are used in different pages to achieve the
same formatted output, and in some cases the source mark-up is a
rather convoluted combination of .RS/.RE/.TP/.PD macros. Simplify
this greatly, and unify all of the pages to use more or less the
same source code style. This makes the source code rather easier
to read, and may simplify future scripted global changes.
The feature test macro info is currently bracketed by .nf/.fi
pairs. This is not strictly necessary (i.e., it makes no
difference to the rendered output), but for the moment we keep
these "brackets" in case they may be replaced with something else.

Around the text:
"Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc..."
replace ".in -4n/.in" with ".RS -4/.RE".
The latter form is more idiomatic use of man macros.
The nroff output is unchanged.

As suggested by Florian Weimer:
It may make sense to move this documentation to a separate
manual page, specific to readdir_r. This will keep the
readdir() documentation nice and crisp. Most programmers
will never have to consult all these details.
