    manual: Document missing feature test macros.
    
    Several feature test macros are documented in features.h but absent in
    the manual, and some documented macros accept undocumented values.
    This commit updates the manual to mention all the accepted macros,
    along with any values that hold special meaning.
    
    	* manual/creature.texi (_POSIX_C_SOURCE): Document special
    	values of 199606L, 200112L, and 200809L.
    	(_XOPEN_SOURCE): Document special values of 600 and 700.
    	(_ISOC11_SOURCE): Document macro.
    	(_ATFILE_SOURCE): Likewise.
    	(_FORTIFY_SOURCE): Likewise.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 6a3962c4a408e8cbc305d2433711196107374e89)
    (cherry picked from commit da81ae645d8ee89052f109c814a68a9489f562e6)
