wordexp.3: Make it clear that WRDE_NOCMD prevents command substitution
...
The use of WRDE_NOCMD prevents command substitution. If the flag
WRDE_NOCMD is set then no command substitution shall occur and
the error WRDE_CMDSUB will be returned if such substitution is
requested when processing the words.
The manual page as-is makes it seem like the command substitution
occurs, and an error is returned *after* the substitution.
This patch clarifies that.

cmsg.3: ensure buf is suitably aligned in sending example
...
Inspection of the definition of CMSG_FIRSTHDR (both in glibc and
the suggested definition in RFC3542) shows that it yields the
msg_control field. So when sending, the pointer placed in
msg_control should be suitably aligned as a struct cmsghdr.
In the sending example, buf was declared as a bare char array,
and so is not necessarily suitably aligned.
The solution here involves placing buf inside a union, and is
based on the sockets/scm_rights_send.c sample from The Linux
Programming Interface "dist" source code collection.
