EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for
mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error
that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem.
While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both
mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for
UFS for mount(2).

It was decided that committing the code and drafting of the man page
update is better than allowing the code to rot until wordsmithing
happens.

Flags prevent open(2) and *at(2) vfs syscalls name lookup from
escaping the starting directory. Supposedly the interface is similar
to the same proposed Linux flags.

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.

effective group ID (and any of our group) doesn't match the group ID of the
file, we get EPERM. This doesn't conform POSIX. POSIX requires that we should
return 0, but silently clear the set-gid bit.
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.

Add an option to the way UFS works dependent on the SUID bit of directories
This changes makes things a whole lot simpler on systems running as
fileservers for PCs and MACS. to enable the new code you must
1/ enable option SUIDDIR on the kernel.
2/ mount the filesystem with option suiddir.
hopefully this makes it difficult enough for people to
do this accidentally.
see the new chmod(2) man page for detailed info.
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.
