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.

This patch adds support of preadv2 and pwritev2 which are similar to
preadv/pwritev but with an extra flag argument. As for preadv/pwritev
both interfaces are added a non-standard GNU API.
For default 'posix' implementation trying to emulate the Linux supported
flags is troublesome:
* We can not temporary change the file state of the O_DSYNC and O_SYNC
flags to emulate RWF_{D}SYNC (attempts to change the state of using
fcntl are silently ignored).
* IOCB_HIPRI requires the file opened in O_DIRECT and uses an internal
semantic not provided by any other flag (O_NONBLOCK for instance).
So default sysdeps/posix implementations fails with EOPNOTSUPP for any non
supported flag (which are none currently) calls generic preadv/pwritev.
Basically this implementation supports only preadv2 called as preadv (with
flags sets to 0).
The Linux one uses the preadv2/pwritev2 syscall if defined, otherwise it
call preadv/writev. Instead of using the previous __ASSUME_* to
unconditionally issue the syscall (and avoid building the fallback routine),
it call pread/write if the preadv2/pwritev2 syscalls fails. The idea
is just avoid adding another __ASSUME_* and checking each architecture
on every kernel bump and simplify code conditionals.

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.

We add Linux-realted comments about the atomicity of
write with respect to file offsets. As of Linux 3.14
the file offset update is atomic. That means that
multiple threads calling the write syscall can not possibly
get the same file offset. Therefore the writes should
not overlap and data should not be lost as is required
by POSIX.
Add Linux-specific comments about the atomicity of write() and
the POSIX requirements.
