to ioctl() and remove the warning when it is not supplied.

SF #994605 , fcntl example is broken
...
The last call to fcntl (which wasn't changed) doesn't work for me, but
the first part works now.
Backport candidate.

Fix bug
...
[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.
with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).

Clarify that on some systems, lockf() using LOCK_EX requires that the file
...
is opened for writing; this closes SF bug #485342 .
Added notes that file objects are also accepted in the place of file
descriptors.

Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
...
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Clarify the example by explicitly importing the fcntl module -- this
...
avoid being fooled into thinking that fcntl and FCNTL are the same
thing -- they aren't! (fcntl is the extension, FCNTL.py is h2py
output that defines all the constants).
(XXX The example is still weird -- I think there's a more portable way
to do locking now. That's for someone else to fix...)
