Reduce the chance that the reader may be misled into thinking
that there is a wrapper function for this system call by noting
explicitly in the SYNOPSIS that there is no glibc wrapper and
pointing the reader to NOTES for further details.

Michael Kerrisk f8c4a80874 readdir.2: remove words "which may change" 
These words are slightly bogus: although the interface is obsolete,
for ABI-compatibility reasons, the kernel folk should never be changing
this interface.

Michael Kerrisk 30508251e3 readdir.2: remove header files from SYNOPSIS 
glibc doesn't provide any support for readdir(2),
so remove these header files (which otherwirse suggest
that glibc does provide the required pieces).
