This patch series affects only the manual.  Tt adds documentation for
max_align_t and documents how malloc and friends align their results.
Also, it says that systems where malloc (0) returns NULL are now rare,
and reorganizes for clarity to separate examples from portability notes.

Paul Eggert (3):
  Document max_align_t
  Document malloc alignment
  Say malloc (0) != NULL is now common; resection
