Michael Kerrisk 492a6a0d4a fopen.3: Minor tweaks to Elliot's patch

enh d66e1f2be3 fopen.3: Explain BSD vs glibc "a+" difference 
Where is the initial read position for an "a+" stream?

POSIX leaves this unspecified. Most BSD man pages are silent, and MacOS
has the ambiguous "The stream is positioned at the end of the file", not
differentiating between reads and writes other than to say that fseek(3)
does not affect writes. glibc's documentation explicitly specifies that
the initial read position is the beginning of the file.

My new wording is based on the BSD implementations, so you may prefer
to replace the non-glibc section with "unspecified", or indeed remove
all claims about the initial read position.

Michael Kerrisk ad484960cb stdarg.3: Add a note that ... in function signature means a variadic function 
Egmont suggested adding this, because the string "..." appears
at several other points in the page, but just to indicate that
some text is omitted from example code.

Michael Kerrisk 5ea5bb212b syscalls.2: Remove crufty text about i386 syscall dispatch table 
The removed text long ago ceased to be accurate. Nowadays, the
dispatch table is autogenerated when building the kernel (via
the kernel makefile, arch/x86/entry/syscalls/Makefile).

Rewrite for improved clarity and defer to setfsuid(2) for the
rationale of the fsGID rather than repeating the same details

Michael Kerrisk 5d3b92e534 setfsuid.2: Rewrite for improved clarity and to hint history more explicitly 
The current text reads somewhat clumsily. Rewrite it to introduce
the eUID and fsUID in parallel, and more clearly hint at the the
historical rationale for the fsUID, which is detailed lower in
the page.
