rG82fa7c3b83d8: linux(4): Add compat.linux32.emulate_i386 knob.
rGd5dc757e84d8: linux(4): Add compat.linux32.emulate_i386 knob.

Summary

Historically 32-bit Linuxulator under amd64 emulated the real i386
behaviour. Since 3d8dd983 the old i386 Linux world can't be used under
amd64 Linuxulator as it don't know anything about amd64 machine (which
is returned now by newuname Lunuxulator syscall). So, add a knob to
allow nice guys like me swith the behaviour and use i386 Linux binaries
on amd64.
Set knob to the new behaviour as I think this is common to the modern
Linux distros.

Manual page English and markup LGTM. Can't speak for source code or consistency with it.

Not a strong objection but I think the name true_i386_emulation is a bit strange. Maybe just drop "true", or "emulate_i386" or "emulate_32bit"?

aha, agree, fixed, thanks Ed
