aeb71118e6 Mark all the system calls that were in 1st Edition Unix as such in the
HISTORY section. Note: Any system calls that were added prior to v7,
but after v1 weren't changed.

fbbd9655e5 Renumber copyright clause 4
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.

0bbe34c35d fork(2): Add information about fork() in multi-threaded processes.
There is nothing about pthread_atfork(3) or extensions like calling
malloc(3) in the child process as this may be unreliable or broken.

2faeeff4c9 mdoc(7) police: Tidy up the syscall language.
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.
