Subject: [PATCH 2/6] vfork.2: ffix

* Use typographer's quotation marks.
* Quote the 4.2BSD vfork(2) page _exactly_, including font styling.

https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.2BSD/usr/man/man2/vfork.2

This is to remove a false positive in preparation for a sed(1)-driven
update of man page cross references to use the groff 1.23.0 `MR` macro.

 Users should not depend on the memory sharing semantics of
