Add text to NOTES to say that the <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h>
header files aren't required by Linux or the standards, but may
be needed for portability to old systems.

Including <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> isn't needed on Linux
and isn't really relevant for the explanation on this page.

There's no need to mention that the 'ipc_perm' structure
is defined in <sys/ipc.h>. That's an implementation detail,
and furthermore <sys/ipc.h> is itself included by the other
System V IPC header files. The current text might lead the
reader to conclude that they must include <sys/ipc.h>, which
is not the case (it is required neither on Linux, nor by the
standards).

man(1) on the present page yields errors:
grotty: ... character above first line discarded
The culprit is "Dl 0 -xxxx" (vertical line) where "xxxx" is
one line (40 nroff units) too long. Or there is a bug in
"grotty". "nroff" or "tbl" makes an empty line where a page is.
The patch fixes the problem by setting the page length to
a large value.

(default "ps" output).
