[PATCH manpages RFC] epoll_wait.2: add epoll_pwait2

[Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>]

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

Expand the epoll_wait page with epoll_pwait2, an epoll_wait variant
that takes a struct timespec to enable nanosecond resolution timeout.

    int epoll_pwait2(int fd, struct epoll_event *events,
                     int maxevents,
                     const struct timespec *timeout,
                     const sigset_t *sigset);
