Add a man page for aio_waitcomplete(). Update the aio_cancel() man page to

reflect the fact that aio_cancel() works now.

.Dt AIO_WAITCOMPLETE 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm aio_waitcomplete
.Nd wait for the next completion of an aio request
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <aio.h>
.Ft int
.Fn aio_waitcomplete "struct aiocb **iocbp, struct timeval *timeout"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
function waits for completion of an asynchronous I/O request. Upon completion,
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
returns the result of the function and sets
.Ar iocbp
to point to the structure associated with the original request. If an
asynchronous I/O request is completed before
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
is called, it returns immediately with the completed request.
.Pp
If
.Ar timeout
is a non-NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to wait for a
asynchronous I/O request to complete. If
.Ar timeout
is a NULL pointer,
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
waits indefinitely. To effect a poll, the
.Ar timeout
argument should be non-NULL, pointing to a zero-valued timeval structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
function also serves the function of
.Fn aio_return ,
thus
.Fn aio_return
should not be called for the control block returned in
.Ar iocbp .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If an asynchronous I/O request has completed,
.Ar iocbp
is set to point to the control block passed with the original request, and
the status is returned as described in
.Xr read 2 ,
.Xr write 2 ,
or
.Xr fsync 2 .
On failure,
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
returns
.Dv -1 ,
sets iocbp to
.Dv NULL
and
.Dv errno
to indicate the error condition.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
function fails if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The specified time limit is invalid.
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
The process has not yet called
.Fn aio_read
or
.Fn aio_write .
.It Bq Er EINTR
A signal was delivered before the timeout expired and before any
asynchronous I/O requests completed.
.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
.It Bq Er EINPROGRESS
The specified time limit expired before any asynchronous I/O requests
completed.
