The isspace(3) man page is out of date

[Keith Thompson]

The isspace(3) man page incorrectly states that isspace(c) is defined
only when isascii(c) is true or c is EOF.

In fact, ISO C (going back to C89/C90) requires isspace(c) to work
correctly when c is either within the range of unsigned char or equal
to EOF (almost certainly 0..255 or -1 for systems supported by
newlib). The implementation of isspace() is correct; this is only a
documentation issue.

The other is*() functions work correctly and are documented correctly.

The following patch fixes this by copying the wording from isalpha().

I have *not* updated it to clarify just what "whitespace" means, but
it would probably be a good idea.

 DESCRIPTION
 <<isspace>> is a macro which classifies singlebyte charset values by table
 lookup.  It is a predicate returning non-zero for whitespace

 <<isspace_l>> is like <<isspace>> but performs the check based on the
