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.

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.

0afc94c17a mdoc: move CAVEATS, BUGS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections to the
bottom of the manpages and order them consistently.

GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.

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.
