fork(2), _Fork(), POSIX.1-2024, and AS-safety

Hi,

While updating the manual pages for POSIX.1-2024, I've realized about
the existence of _Fork().  The GNU documentation says it's a GNU
extension.  I guess it needs to be updated now that it's standard.

I'll need to write a new manual page page for it, and change the
existing ones to note that fork(2) isn't AS-safe.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
