Bring in the man page additions for PT_ATTACH/DETACH|GET/SET_REGS that

were deleted out after the initial import now that Peter's code has
implemented them in -current.

.It Dv PT_ATTACH
This request allows a process to gain control of an otherwise unrelated
process and begin tracing it. It does not need any cooperation from
the to-be-traced process. In this case,
.Fa pid
specifies the process ID of the to-be-traced process, and the other two
arguments are ignored. This request requires that the target process
must have the same real UID as the tracing process, and that it must
not be executing a setuid or setgid executable. (If the tracing
process is running as root, these restrictions do not apply.) The
tracing process will see the newly-traced process stop and may then
control it as if it had been traced all along.
.It Dv PT_DETACH
This request is like PT_CONTINUE, except that it does not allow
specifying an alternate place to continue execution, and after it
succeeds, the traced process is no longer traced and continues
execution normally.
