clone.2: Small rewording of explanation of clone() wrt threads
Clone has so many effects that it's an oversimplification to say
that the *main* use of clone is to create a thread. (In fact,
the use of clone() to create new processes may well be more
common, since glibc's fork() is a wrapper that calls clone().)
