Bump the date on man pages in r334306

It seems a shame to ruin the patina of the June 4, 1993 date
on abort.3, especially since it still matched the date of
the SCCS ID, but those are the rules.

Renumber clauses to reduce diffs to other versions

Implement quick_exit() / at_quick_exit() from C++11 / C1x. Also add a
__noreturn macro and modify the other exiting functions to use it.

The __noreturn macro, unlike __dead2, must be used BEFORE the function.
This is in line with the C and C++ specifications that place _Noreturn (c1x)
and [[noreturn]] (C++11) in front of the functions. As with __dead2, this
macro falls back to using the GCC attribute.

Unfortunately, clang currently sets the same value for the C version macro
in C99 and C1x modes, so these functions are hidden by default. At some
point before 10.0, I need to go through the headers and clean up the C1x /
C++11 visibility.

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
