  doc: Sort the ISO C and POSIX Function Substitutes by header file.
  
  * doc/gnulib.texi (Function Substitutes): Add one section per header
  file.
  * doc/posix-functions/*.texi: Each of these files is now a subsection.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This macro is missing on some platforms:
  NetBSD 10.0, mingw.
  @item
  This macro does not describe the error behaviour
  of elementary arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /)
  and of mathematical operations for which the compiler emits inline code
  (such as @code{sqrt} on some CPUs).
  @item
  This macro does not describe the error behaviour of functions
  such as @code{strtod}.
  @item
  For mathematical operations in general, it is a safer bet to look
  at the exceptions set in the floating-point environment
  (by calling @code{feclearexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT)} before the operation
  and @code{fetestexcept} after the operation),
  regardless of @code{math_errhandling}.
