This patch updates the documentation regarding two NetBSD bugs that I just filed
(see attachments).

	doc: Update regarding NetBSD.
	* doc/posix-functions/sigprocmask.texi: Mention a NetBSD 9.0 bug.

>Synopsis:	The return value of pthread_sigmask is not standards compliant
>Severity:	non-critical
>Priority:	medium
>Category:	lib
>Class:		sw-bug
>Release:	NetBSD 9.0
>Environment:
System: NetBSD netbsd9.bruno.haible.de 9.0 NetBSD 9.0 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Feb 14 00:06:28 UTC 2020 mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
When a program that is not linked with libpthread uses the pthread_sigmask
function, its return value can be wrong.
See https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_sigmask.html
section "RETURN VALUE".
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile this program
==================== foo.c ================
#include <errno.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
  sigset_t set;
  int ret;

  sigemptyset (&set);
  sigaddset (&set, SIGINT);

  ret = sigprocmask (1729, &set, NULL);
  if (ret == 0)
    printf ("sigprocmask succeeded!\n");
  else
    printf ("sigprocmask -> %d, errno=%d\n", ret, errno);

  ret = pthread_sigmask (1729, &set, NULL);
  if (ret == 0)
    printf ("pthread_sigmask succeeded!\n");
  else
    printf ("pthread_sigmask -> %d\n", ret);

  return 0;
}
=============================================
$ gcc -Wall foo.c
$ ./a.out

Expected output:
sigprocmask -> -1, errno=22
pthread_sigmask -> 22

Actual output:
sigprocmask -> -1, errno=22
pthread_sigmask -> -1
