Add a man page for aio_waitcomplete(). Update the aio_cancel() man page to

reflect the fact that aio_cancel() works now.

+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm aio_waitcomplete
+.Nd wait for the next completion of an aio request
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <aio.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete "struct aiocb **iocbp, struct timeval *timeout"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete
+function waits for completion of an asynchronous I/O request.  Upon completion,
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete
+returns the result of the function and sets
+.Ar iocbp
+to point to the structure associated with the original request. If an
+asynchronous I/O request is completed before
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete
+is called, it returns immediately with the completed request.
+.Pp
+If
+.Ar timeout
+is a non-NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to wait for a
+asynchronous I/O request to complete.  If
+.Ar timeout
+is a NULL pointer,
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete
+waits indefinitely.  To effect a poll, the
+.Ar timeout
+argument should be non-NULL, pointing to a zero-valued timeval structure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete
+function also serves the function of
+.Fn aio_return ,
+thus
+.Fn aio_return
+should not be called for the control block returned in
+.Ar iocbp .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If an asynchronous I/O request has completed,
+.Ar iocbp
+is set to point to the control block passed with the original request, and
+the status is returned as described in
+.Xr read 2 ,
+.Xr write 2 ,
+or
+.Xr fsync 2 .
+On failure,
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete
+returns
+.Dv -1 ,
+sets iocbp to
+.Dv NULL
+and
+.Dv errno
+to indicate the error condition.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn aio_waitcomplete
+function fails if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The specified time limit is invalid.
+.It Bq Er EAGAIN
+The process has not yet called
+.Fn aio_read
+or
+.Fn aio_write .
+.It Bq Er EINTR
+A signal was delivered before the timeout expired and before any
+asynchronous I/O requests completed.
+.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
+.It Bq Er EINPROGRESS
+The specified time limit expired before any asynchronous I/O requests
+completed.
