Convert cygwin-api from using a sect2 element to using a refentry element for
each function. This makes it possible to generate manpage-style output for

Remove pointless and incorrect date

Add a funcsynopsisinfo element with the header file to be included to each
function prototype

A small customization to TOC generation for HTML and PDF is needed to ensure
that it appears as before, containing an entry for each utility command.

It seems that xidepend doesn't work correctly if we are ./configure'd using a
relative pathname to the srcdir:
$ make
cd ../../../../src/winsup/doc && ./xidepend ../../../../src/winsup/doc/cygwin-ug-net.xml ../../../../src/winsup/doc/cygwin-api.xml >"/wip/cygwin/build/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/winsup/doc/Makefile.dep"
grep: ../../../../src/winsup/doc/cygwin-ug-net.xml: No such file or directory
grep: ../../../../src/winsup/doc/cygwin-api.xml: No such file or directory
Although it might be better to fix this by making xidepend use pathnames, rather
than ignoring them and assuming everything is in the current directory...

Not sure if this is wanted, but on a couple of occasions recently I have been
presented with strace output which contains an exception at an address in an
unknown module (i.e. not in the cygwin DLL or the main executable), so here is a

interpret such straces.
