sigaltstack.2: Note buggy addition of ss.ss_flags==SS_ONSTACK
...
Note buggy addition of ss.ss_flags==SS_ONSTACK as a synonym
for ss_flags==0. No other implemenation does this, AFAIK.
And it was not needed :-(.

MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND affect all per-mount-point

uniquely, is both a per-mount-point flag *and* a
per-filesystem flag.
So the sections of per-mount-point flags and
MS_REMOUNT can usefully be clarified.

README: Update generally
...
* Reflect fact that project ships pages in sections 1-8.
* Resync documentation of the basic Makefile targets with what they
actually do at present. Slighly simplify discussion.
* Put the man page overlaps into a table.
+ Drop references to overlaps with the old a.out ld.so, long dead.
* Update reference to Announce file to use current naming convention.
+ Send people looking for copyright information there rather than
duplicating some of it here.
* Direct reader to the top-level homepage instead of more deeply to the
"Contributing" page.
* Reflow paragraphs to 72 columns.

* Replace LP macro with more commonly-used PP macro.
The above do not change the output whatsoever (confirmed with -Z).
* Use .I macro instead of font escapes, obtaining italic correction.
To see the above distinction, use -Tps, -Tpdf, or similar before and
after the change.
