profil(II) is in the scanned 3rd edition manual that we have. We don't
have the 3rd edition sources, nor do we have the 4th edition souces. We
have a mostly complete (missing pipes) 4th edition C rewrite where
profil system call number is reserved, but it's not implemented (it's in
the manx section for things that apeared to have been in 3rd edition but
weren't yet part of the reimplemented 4th edition). The 5th edition
sources we have do have it, however. For other items that have appeared
in earlier manuals, we've added the simple verbage to the manual and
relegated the rest of the data for that file to the commit message.
system calls. Man pages are missing for v2 and v5, so any entries for
those versions were inferred by new implementations of these functions
in libc.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Stop calling system calls "function calls".
Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".
When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
