[PATCH v1 18/21] man/man2/msgctl.2: STANDARDS, HISTORY: Update POSIX appearances of msgctl(2)

From: Seth McDonald <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

msgctl(2) appeared in SUSv1.[1]  The function was added to POSIX.1-2001
when POSIX and SUS merged, but as an XSI extension (still SUS-only).[2]
And it remains an XSI extension in POSIX.1-2024.[3]
