        Remove obsolete reference to glibc version in NOTES

recv.2

        Adjust type shown for msg_controllen to glibc reality
            This patch fixes the type of msg_controllen in the struct msghdr
            definition given in send.2 and recv.2 to match the definition in
            glibc and the kernel.

select.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Update NOTES on old glibc pselect()
            Make it clear that modern glibc uses the kernel pselect()
            on systems where it is available.
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14411

tzfile.5
    Michael Kerrisk
        Add information on version 2 format timezone files
            Updated using information from the tzcode 2010l release at
            ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub.
            (It's an open question whether or not a version of tzfile.5
            should live independently in man-pages. It was added to the
            man-pages set many years ago. For now, I'll follow a
            conservative course that causes least pain to downstream,
            by continuing to maintain a separate copy in man-pages.)
