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delete_module.2, init_module.2: glibc 2.23 is no longer
maintained, so we changed the notes about wrappers, to say that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.

Rationale:
$ man 7 man-pages 2>/dev/null | sed -n /Paragraphs/,/^$/p
Paragraphs should be separated by suitable markers (usually
either .PP or .IP). Do not separate paragraphs using blank
lines, as this results in poor rendering in some output
formats (such as PostScript and PDF).
Fix:
$ sed -i -e '1,/^\.EX/s/^$/.PP/' -e '/^\.EE/,/^\.EX/s/^$/.PP/' man?/*

filesystems.5: wfix: ntfs: remove FAT comparison
The main point I was driving at with this patch was to fix
"Microsoft Window's FAT filesystems" (i.e., FAT filesystems which
belong to Microsoft Windows, which is decidedly wrong).
FAT32 first shipped with MS-DOS 7.1, as part of Windows 95 OSR2,
but it's a (relatively) simple logical extension of the previous
FATx filesystems (16 and 12 as we know and love them today, I
don't think the PC ever saw 8), hence the "VFAT" driver name ‒
calling FAT-anything a Windows filesystem would be a flat-out lie,
calling it a Microsoft filesystem would be, uh, facetious.
NTFS (as part of Windows NT), on the other hand, is wholly
different WRT the scope and feature-set (it does borrow some
layouting from FAT, but reading NTFS as FAT doesn't get you very
far, or much).
The replacing bit is also questionable, especially in a.d. 2020:
while it is true that you cannot install NT on FAT (after a
certain point? my memory ain't what it used to be), and must
therefore replace your existing FAT partitions with NTFS during
upgrades; Windows NT 4.0, the last product to be NT-branded came
out in 1996, i.e. you could not install Windows on FAT (and,
therefore, upgrade it to NTFS, replacing it) during my entire
lifetime.
Indeed, in $(date +%Y) we live in a post-NTFS world ‒ putting NTFS
in the same class as FAT beyond "is a filesystem" is a joke.

strnlen.3: Fix a small inconsistency in the text
Quoting Heinrich:
The strnlen.3 manpage has the following sentence:
"In doing this, strnlen() looks only at the first maxlen
characters in the string pointed to by s and never beyond
s+maxlen."
This sentence is self-contradictory:
The last visited character implied by "first maxlen
characters" is s[maxlen-1].
Given that "beyond a" does not include "a", the last visited
character implied by "never beyond s+maxlen" is s[maxlen].
A consistent sentence would be
"In doing this, strnlen() looks only at the first maxlen
characters in the string pointed to by s and never beyond
s+maxlen-1."
I would prefer
"In doing this, strnlen() looks only at the first maxlen
characters in the string pointed to by s and never beyond
s[maxlen-1]"

link.2: ERRORS: add ENOENT when target is deleted
Linux kernel commit
aae8a97d3ec30788790d1720b71d76fd8eb44b73 (part
of kernel release v2.6.39) added a check to disallow creating a
hardlink to an unlinked file.
The manual page already describes the trick of using
AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW as an alternative to AT_EMPTY_PATH, and for
AT_EMPTY_PATH the manual page already notes that it "will
generally not work if the file has a link count of zero". However,
the precise error (ENOENT) is not mentioned, and the error case
isn't mentioned in the ERRORS section at all.
This makes it easy to overlook the fact that the AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW
trick on /proc/self/fd/NN won't work on deleted files, as
evidenced by the follow message (which turns up when googling
"linkat deleted ENOENT"):
