Log:
  MFC r343444:
  
  Document that `sendfile` will return an invalid value for `sbytes` if provided an invalid address
  
  This is meant to clarify the fact that the system call will not fail
  with -1/EFAULT, as one might expect, when reading the sendfile(2)
  manpage today.
  
  While here, pet the mandoc linter, when dealing with the section that
  describes valid values for `flags`.
