POSIX AIO is great, but it lacks vectored I/O functions. This commit
fixes that shortcoming by adding aio_writev and aio_readv. They aren't
part of the standard, but they're an obvious extension. They work just
like their synchronous equivalents pwritev and preadv.
It isn't yet possible to use vectored aiocbs with lio_listio, but that
could be added in the future.

Stop calling system calls "function calls".
Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".
When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.

* Fix disorder in the SEE ALSO sections of aio_*(2).
* Remove unnecessary cross-references from the SEE ALSO sections of
aio_*(2); config(8), kldload(8) and kldunload(8) are cross-referenced
from aio(4).
* Remove the KERNEL OPTIONS sections from aio_*(2), now that these
pages cross-reference aio(4), which contains suitable kernel linking
reference material.
- Sort xrefs
- FreeBSD.ORG -> FreeBSD.org
- Be consistent with section names as outlines in mdoc(7)
- Other misc mdoc cleanup.
