[PING] manual: Complete @standards in filesys.texi.


Ping.

I recently retread this ground with all the standards documentation I've
been able to dredge up so far, and wound up with the same results.
(There is also confirmation for some of these from Zack. [0])

The only annotation I question is the use of the conditional expression
for posix_fallocate64.  The second time around I simply wrote it as
"LFS", because I couldn't find a reference to it anywhere in POSIX.  Is
that sufficient?  For a *64 function marked LFS, we could expect one to
look at the non-64 version for the original standard.  They'll also show
up next to each other in the Summary, so the information will be there,
at a glance.
