Fix putchar(3) handling and a number of other issues in the random(6)
code. In -e mode, avoid bias due to truncation of the return code to
8 bits. In default mode, actually treat the denominator as a floating
point number and print the line with a probability of 1 / denominator.
This allows e.g. printing 2/3 of stdin with 'random 1.5'.
Includes code for uniform random floats by Taylor R. Campbell from
https://mumble.net/~campbell/2014/04/28/uniform-random-float
and clz64() by me.

Over a decade ago, the build infrastructure had special logic to process
man pages that ended with the suffix "tbl".
This infrastructure is long gone and the special naming for these man pages
is no longer needed.
Revert the naming of these man pages for consistency with all other man
pages in the tree. As a bonus, we remove a few lines from some of the
Makefiles making them simpler.
ok jmc@, and no objection from schwarze@
Changes:
- update country and capital names that have changed in recent years
- remove the formal prefix from South Africa for consistency with other
country names
- add additional capitals for countries with multiple capitals
- add "The" as optional prefix for The Gambia and The Bahamas
- add missing suffix "City" to a few capitals
- add many missing countries
NetBSD appears to have also added territories which I've not added in this
update.

this filters out all retguard symbols, which are no fun to guess. One
recognizes them easily but can get yourself hanged by a single digit!
An earlier version filtering only __retguard symbols was

guenther agreed that filtering all double underbar symbols makes sense.
He also suggested to filter out symbols containing several consecutive
digits, but how much fun is guessing libcrypto symbols without all the
X509 goodness?

solve this by only calling pledge(2) after initscr(3) is set and done, or

grdc(6) has an optional argument indicating a timeout in seconds.
For example, one could do:
$ grdc 60
to to tell grdc(6) to run for sixty seconds and then exit gracefully.
As implemented, however, the timeout may occur too early or too late
if the system clock is reset with settimeofday(2).
To avoid this problem we can instead use alarm(3) and a signal handler
to implement the timeout. alarm(3) is unaffected by settimeofday(2).
- Sort includes alphabetically
- Sort function prototypes alphabetically
- Add missing whitespace after commas
- Remove extra whitespace after commas
- Add missing whitespace between binary operators
- Add missing whitespace between reserved words and parens, i.e. fix "if("
- Add missing __dead to usage() definition

i don;t have a copy of this book, and a brief search online shows conflicting
punctuation, but i've chosen to replace the comma splice with a full stop,
which is at least grammatically correct, and seems the most likely solution.
whether this quote needs to be in two files escapes me...
the existing text encouraged the misconception that punched card
encodings were somehow standardized, which they were not. Lots of
different encodings existed, and the one simulated here was a
proprietary one of one specific vendor (GE). Also correct the
history: the folks at Bell Labs already played with this.
