[PATCH] manual: Adjust documentation to standardization of select

[Collin Funk]

The select function, fd_set, and FD_* macros were standardized by POSIX
in the sys/select.h header. They are still defined in sys/types.h if
__USE_MISC is defined, but we should recommend the more portable and
standardized sys/select.h.
