kill(1): s/proceses/processes/

restore a bit of history.

Mark up path with Pa and use Ev for environment variable.

Note that negative pid args are permitted (indicating to send to the pgrp
abs(pid)) and indicate that -- is (strictly) needed if the first pid arg
(there often is only one) is negative - though this implementation works
without it if a signal to send has been explicitly given, but whereas
'kill 1234" is valid (send SIGTERM to pid 1234) "kill -1234" will generate
a usage error from the attempt to send signal 1234 to nothing, to send
SIGTERM to pgrp 1234 it needs to be "kill -- -1234" (or "kill -s term -1234").

While here do a couple of markup improvements, and allow for the
possibility that users might be running the builtin kill from some
shell other than csh or sh.

Use the POSIX specified format if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set in the
environment, rather than the nicer layout that is normally used.

Note this applies to /bin/kill only, the builtin kill in sh uses its
"posix" option for the same purpose, the one in csh only ever uses
POSIX format.

Bump date for previous change... I frequently forget that bit.

kill is built-in to more than just csh(1).
While here, add missing Xr sh 1 (which was previously needed, moreso now)
and also include STOP and CONT in the list of common signals.

Earliest reference of kill in the TUHS archive is v3 AT&T UNIX.
Unfortunately only the source code for the compiler is present for that
release. The v2 archive is missing the manuals & only contains a some of the
commands.
Switch to v3 and reference manual category eight.
