Subject: getaddrinfo_a.3: format fix for consistency

Hi,

While translating getaddrinfo_a to french, I noticed that the english
formatting was not very consistent from the synchronous to the
asynchronous description.

  Perform the look-ups synchronously; <--- ;
[..]
 .B GAI_NOWAIT
 Perform the look-ups asynchronously. <--- .

Quite minor, patch attached.
