Description

MFC 302899: Add documentation for the sigevent structure.

Add a sigevent(3) manpage to give a general overview of the sigevent structure and the available notification mechanisms.
Document that AIO requests contain a nested sigevent structure that can be used to request completion notification.
Expand the sigevent details in other manuals to note details such as the extra values stored in a queued signal's information or in a posted kevent.

/stable/10/lib/libc/sys/aio_fsync.2
77	"request" is repeated and could be confused. Maybe just "ask for" for the first one?
96	Rearrange this to not be interrupted: Modifications of the Asynchronous I/O Control Block structure or the buffer contents are not allowed after the request has been enqueued but not yet completed.
/stable/10/lib/libc/sys/aio_mlock.2
70	Double "request". Replace the first with "ask for" (or something better, but it's Friday afternoon so I can't think of anything better).
/stable/10/lib/libc/sys/aio_read.2
85	Double "request". There must be a better way to say this.
/stable/10/lib/libc/sys/aio_write.2
91	Double "request". One is a verb, one is a noun.
/stable/9/lib/libc/sys/aio_fsync.2
96	As above, rearrange to make less halting.
/stable/9/lib/libc/sys/aio_read.2
85	Double "request".
/stable/9/lib/libc/sys/aio_write.2
91	Double "request".
