Various pages: Normalize SYNOPSIS notes about nonexistent glibc wrappers
To easily distinguish documentation about glibc wrappers from
documentation about kernel syscalls, let's have a normalized
'Note' in the SYNOPSIS, and a further explanation in the page body
(NOTES in most of them), as already happened in many (but not all)
of the manual pages for syscalls without a wrapper. Furthermore,
let's normalize the messages, following membarrier.2 (because it's
already quite extended), so that it's easy to use grep to find
those pages.
To find these pages, we used:
$ grep -rn wrapper man? | sort -V
and
$ grep -rni support.*glibc | sort -V
delete_module.2, init_module.2: glibc 2.23 is no longer
maintained, so we changed the notes about wrappers, to say that
there are no glibc wrappers for these system calls; see NOTES.
We didn't fix some obsolete pages such as create_module.2.
