Man pages for O_CLOFORK implementation

These are Ricardo Branco's man page updates for affected functions
using O_CLOFORK (and associated variants) for NetBSD (with
a few minor changes and additions by me).

pipe2 requires fcntl.h for its flags; PR 48614 from Steffen Daode Nurpmeso.
Also fix the wording for EINVAL as suggested by Robert Elz.

For pipe2(2), EINVAL won't be returned if the flag is O_NOSIGPIPE.

As discussed in tech-kern, provide the means to prevent delivery of SIGPIPE
on EPIPE for all file descriptor types:

- provide O_NOSIGPIPE for open,kqueue1,pipe2,dup3,fcntl(F_{G,S}ETFL) [NetBSD]
- provide SOCK_NOSIGPIPE for socket,socketpair [NetBSD]
- provide SO_NOSIGPIPE for {g,s}seckopt [NetBSD/FreeBSD/MacOSX]
- provide F_{G,S}ETNOSIGPIPE for fcntl [MacOSX]

# 1.24 27-Jun-2011 wiz

Various minor improvements.


# 1.23 26-Jun-2011 christos

* Arrange for interfaces that create new file descriptors to be able to
set close-on-exec on creation (http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html).

- Add F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC to fcntl(2).
- Add MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC to recvmsg(2) for unix file descriptor passing.
- Add dup3(2) syscall with a flags argument for O_CLOEXEC, O_NONBLOCK.
- Add pipe2(2) syscall with a flags argument for O_CLOEXEC, O_NONBLOCK.
- Add flags SOCK_CLOEXEC, SOCK_NONBLOCK to the socket type parameter
for socket(2) and socketpair(2).
- Add new paccept(2) syscall that takes an additional sigset_t to alter
the sigmask temporarily and a flags argument to set SOCK_CLOEXEC,
SOCK_NONBLOCK.
- Add new mode character 'e' to fopen(3) and popen(3) to open pipes
and file descriptors for close on exec.
- Add new kqueue1(2) syscall with a new flags argument to open the
kqueue file descriptor with O_CLOEXEC, O_NONBLOCK.

* Fix the system calls that take socklen_t arguments to actually do so.

* Don't include userland header files (signal.h) from system header files
(rump_syscallargs.h).

* Bump libc version for the new syscalls.

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22280, verified by myself.


# 1.20 16-Apr-2003 wiz

.In header.h
instead of

Okayed by ross.

libraries contain stubs only (with minor exceptions a la pipe(2)), the purpose
of this section is to provide linkage information.
