Global changes
--------------

-  Build system
   -  Update PDF book for groff-1.23.0.
   -  Add targets to [un]install intro(*) pages separately.
   -  Support manual pages in other projects, so that our build system
      can be used to for example lint them.
   -  Reject non-GNU make(1).
   -  Add target to build the PDF book.

-  man*/
   -  Add some consistency in the use of man(7).
   -  Split proc(5) into many small pages.
   -  Import pages from old linuxthreads (glibc), with their git
      history (from both glibc and Debian).
   -  Rewrite a large part of the documentation for string-copying
      functions.
   -  Say ISO/IEC instead of ISO where appropriate, and be consistent in
      the fomatting of names of ISO or ISO/IEC standards.
