sockaddr.3type, timer_t.3type, void.3type: wfix
Replace "shall" wordings by simpler text, to not resemble a
standards document.
When saying something like "According to POSIX/ISO C, ...", if
the mentioned standard is the same one described in STANDARDS,
remove that text (it is redundant). However, if ISO C is the
main standard that describes a type, but POSIX applies further
restrictions, keep that text.
Remove pedantic notes that may only be interesting to compiler
writers.
