no userland locks are heald, the dead thread lock can no longer protect
access to it. Therefore, instead of using an if (!dead)...else clause
after walking the active threads list test the thread pointer before
deciding not to walk the dead threads list. If the thread pointer is null
it means it was not found in the active threads list and the dead threads
list should be checked.
2. Do not free the stack of a thread that is not marked dead. This is the
2nd and final part of eliminating the race to free a thread's stack.

Extract the struct cdev pointer and the tty device from inside rather than
incorrectly casting the 'struct cdev *' pointer to a 'dev_t' int. Not
that this was particularly important since it was only used for reading
vmcore files.
- Make some minor rearrangements in the introduction.
- Mention the problem with argument reduction on i386.
- Add recently-implemented functions to the table.
- Un-document the error bounds that only apply to the old 4BSD math
library, and fill in the correct values where I know them. No
attempt has been made to document bounds lower than 1 ulp, although
smaller bounds are usually achievable in round-to-nearest mode.

o Remove unneeded sys/types.h and netinet/in.h from the synopsis and
the example.
o We do have struct in_addr in arpa/inet.h, so no need for netinet/in.h.
o Mention where AF_* constants defined are.
Educated by: bde
- Add a comment noting that the ru_[us]times values being read aren't
actually valid and need to be computed from the raw values.

After some discussion the best option seems to be to signal the thread's
death from within the kernel. This requires that thr_exit() take an
argument.

Approved by: re (not required for commit but something like this should be)
the signal mask and pending signals of the calling thread. These
are stored in userland in libpthread.
There is a small race condition in this patch which could cause
problems if a signal arrives after setting the (kernel) signal
mask and before exec'ing. The thread's set of pending signals
also are not yet installed in the exec'd process. Both of these
will be corrected with the addition of a special syscall.

1. Install man files and links for the lwres library.
2. Fix the path in various files to say /etc/namedb/ instead of just /etc.
3. Correctly install the conf file man pages for named and rndc.
