5b1fb8ec66 First draft of documentation for AT/O_BENEATH handling of the absolute
paths.

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.

4f77f48884 Implement O_BENEATH and AT_BENEATH.
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.

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.

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.

2716f76b14 Refer to chflags(2) instead of chflags(1) (since we're a section 2
manual page), fix capitalization, and remove chflags reference from
SEE ALSO since the only time it's referenced is with an .Xr, anyway.
