Comments at top of standard headers

Subject: Comments at top of standard headers
From: "Joseph S. Myers" <jsm28 at cam dot ac dot uk>

In glibc the C standard headers have comments at the top identifying the
section of the C standard they come from.  Many of these still have 4.x
section numbers from the pre-ISO ANSI standard.  This patch updates the
comments to give the section numbers from C99 consistently (and makes the
wording agree with the section titles in C99 in all cases).
