8e0cd68ff4 Correct history for Unix 2nd Edition through 6th Edition for the
system calls. Man pages are missing for v2 and v5, so any entries for
those versions were inferred by new implementations of these functions
in libc.

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.

c0fd04a922 Remove impossible error condition from the man page.
On FreeBSD, all processes have a process group, so it is impossible for
kill(2) to fail this way.  POSIX also doesn't mention this error
condition.

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.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
