Add further clarification on si_addr and si_trapno.

Browse Source 
- In the initial description of si_addr, do not claim that it is
  always the faulting instruction.

- For si_addr, document that it is generally set to the PC for
  synchronous signals, but that it can be set to the the address of
  the faulting memory reference for some signals including SIGSEGV and
  SIGBUS.  In particular, while SIGSEGV generally sets si_addr to the
  faulting memory reference, SIGBUS can vary.  On some platforms, some
  SIGBUS signals set si_addr to the PC and other SIGBUS signals set
  si_addr to the faulting address depending on the specific hardware
  exception.

- For si_trapno, synchronous signals should set this to some value.

For synchronous signals,
.Va si_addr
is generally set to the address of the faulting instruction.
However, synchronous signals raised by a faulting memory access such as
.Dv SIGSEGV
and
.Dv SIGBUS
may report the address of the faulting memory access (if available) in
.Va si_addr
instead.
