37296464de memcpy.3: remove BUGS section allowing overlapping strings
The removed text claimed that memcpy is implemented using bcopy and thus
strings may overlap.  Use of bcopy is an implementation detail that is
no longer true, even if the implementation (on some archs) does allow
overlap.

In any case behaviour is undefined per the C standard if memcpy is
called with overlapping objects, and this man page already claimed that
src and dst may not overlap.

50a717a67b Add notes about overlapping copies.
Add notes to each of these that specifically state that results are
undefined if the strings overlap. In the case of memcpy, we document
the overlapping behavior on FreeBSD (pre-existing). For str*, it is
left unspecified, however, since the default (and x86) implementations
do not handle overlapping strings properly.

fbc400a67a Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
