Add missing EAFNOSUPPORT, ESOCKTNOSUPPORT, EPROTOTYPE, EINVAL, EPERM,
and ENOMEM error codes, and adjust existing descriptions accordingly.
On Linux either ENOBUFS or ENOMEM is returned in the case of a memory
allocation failure, depending on the namespace requested, e.g. AF_INET
returns ENOMEM while AF_INET6 returns ENOBUFS, so document these codes
as alternatives.
Similarly EPERM is returned rather than EACCES on Linux, so document
these codes as alternatives as well. We might want to convert EPERM to
EACCES for POSIX compliance, but it is beyond the scope of this change,
and software has to expect either anyway, owing to the long-established
practice.
Finally ESOCKTNOSUPPORT is returned rather than EPROTONOSUPPORT for an
unsupported style except for the AF_QIPCRTR namespace where EPROTOTYPE
is used, so document these codes as alternatives too.

The purpose of this patch is to add some system calls that (1) aren't
otherwise documented, and (2) are merely redirected to the kernel, so
can refer to their documentation; and define a standard way of doing
so in the future. A more detailed explaination of how system calls
are wrapped is added along with reference to the Linux Man-Pages
project.
Default version of man-pages is in configure.ac but can be overridden
by --with-man-pages=X.Y

This is a major rewrite of the description of 'crypt', 'getentropy',
and 'getrandom'.
A few highlights of the content changes:
- Throughout the manual, public headers, and user-visible messages,
I replaced the term "password" with "passphrase", the term
"password database" with "user database", and the term
"encrypt(ion)" with "(one-way) hashing" whenever it was applied to
passphrases. I didn't bother making this change in internal code
or tests. The use of the term "password" in ruserpass.c survives,
because that refers to a keyword in netrc files, but it is adjusted
to make this clearer.
There is a note in crypt.texi explaining that they were
traditionally called passwords but single words are not good enough
anymore, and a note in users.texi explaining that actual passphrase
hashes are found in a "shadow" database nowadays.
- There is a new short introduction to the "Cryptographic Functions"
section, explaining how we do not intend to be a general-purpose
cryptography library, and cautioning that there _are_, or have
been, legal restrictions on the use of cryptography in many
countries, without getting into any kind of detail that we can't
promise to keep up to date.
- I added more detail about what a "one-way function" is, and why
they are used to obscure passphrases for storage. I removed the
paragraph saying that systems not connected to a network need no
user authentication, because that's a pretty rare situation
nowadays. (It still says "sometimes it is necessary" to
authenticate the user, though.)
- I added documentation for all of the hash functions that glibc
actually supports, but not for the additional hash functions
supported by libxcrypt. If we're going to keep this manual section
around after the transition is more advanced, it would probably
make sense to add them then.
- There is much more detailed discussion of how to generate a salt,
and the failure behavior for crypt is documented. (Returning an
invalid hash on failure is what libxcrypt does; Solar Designer's
notes say that this was done "for compatibility with old programs
that assume crypt can never fail".)
- As far as I can tell, the header 'crypt.h' is entirely a GNU
invention, and never existed on any other Unix lineage. The
function 'crypt', however, was in Issue 1 of the SVID and is now
in the XSI component of POSIX. I tried to make all of the
@standards annotations consistent with this, but I'm not sure I got
them perfectly right.
- The genpass.c example has been improved to use getentropy instead
of the current time to generate the salt, and to use a SHA-256 hash
instead of MD5. It uses more random bytes than is strictly
necessary because I didn't want to complicate the code with proper
base64 encoding.
- The testpass.c example has three hardwired hashes now, to
demonstrate that different one-way functions produce different
hashes for the same input. It also demonstrates how DES hashing
only pays attention to the first eight characters of the input.
- There is new text explaining in more detail how a CSPRNG differs
from a regular random number generator, and how
getentropy/getrandom are not exactly a CSPRNG. I tried not to make
specific falsifiable claims here. I also tried to make the
blocking/cancellation/error behavior of both getentropy and
getrandom clearer.
The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is
performed. If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will
fail, reporting all errors. Failure and error reporting is disabled
for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete
wrt. header and standards annotations.
Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl
respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is
introduced in the Makefile. Other notable deviations are improved
detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for
sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into
the manual. The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is
that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and
standard combination.
summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected
syntax of @standards. If errors are reported, the user is directed to
this feature for further information.

The conversion script will convert these annotations, but the
replacement Summary-generation script won't catch them because @items
in @tables are not generally considered annotatable, causing them to
be skipped over (or cause errors). Using @vtable ensures their
continued presence in the Summary, with the added benefit that Texinfo
will also automatically include them in the Variable and Constant
Macro index now.
* manual/conf.texi: Convert @tables of annotated @items to
@vtables.
* manual/lang.texi: Likewise.
* manual/pattern.texi: Likewise.
* manual/resource.texi: Likewise.
* manual/socket.texi: Likewise.
Texinfo @vindex commands add entries to the Variable and Constant
Macro Index. Similarly, @items in @vtables are automatically indexed.
A number of @tables exist where all @items are @vindexed or all @items
are variables, but not indexed, suggesting an optimization by
converting such @tables to @vtables and dropping the @vindex.
Using a @vtable provides a context for processing @items whereby it
can be known the @items should have header and standards annotations.
This commit converts @tables of such @items to @vtables in order to
establish a framework for automated processing.
A pleasant consequence of these changes is that @items previously
lacking a @vindex are present in the Variable and Constant Macro Index
now. @vindex entries previously detected by summary.awk will still be
detected as @items with appropriate annotations.
The @vtable of the NSS databases is converted to a @table because 1)
those @items are not variables (and will no longer appear in the
Variable and Constant Macro Index) and 2) they do not need header and
standards annotations, so the incorrect context is fixed.
