Bring intro(3) a bit closer to reality:
1) comment out xref to non-existant libc(3) 2) comment out reference to Fortran specific section (3f) 3) add libkvm with reference to kvm(3) 4) comment out xref to non-existant pc(1) 5) comment out libplot and libplotf77 6) fix problem with -ltermcap not being parenthesized 7) sort files listing still missing most of the libraries that exist in /usr/lib. Closes PR#1151
