[PATCH 04/14] prctl.2: srcfix add comments for navigation

[Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>]

The prctl.2 source is unnecessarily hard to navigate, not least
because prctl option flags are traditionally named PR_* and so look
just like prctl names.

For each actual prctl, add a comment of the form

	.\" prctl PR_FOO

to make it move obvious where each top-level prctl starts.

Of course, we could add some clever macros, but let's not confuse
dumb parsers.
