getcontext.3: Exemplar structure should use 'ucontext_t'. In glibc we just finished a round of purging 'struct ucontext' which is not in the POSIX reserved namespace of *_t tags. This has some consequences to applications using the non-standard struct ucontext: https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.26#Removal_of_.27struct_ucontext.27 but it also fixes a namespace conformance issue which is always a longterm pain for large portable programs. It was noted by Peter Maydell (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21457) that the linux man pages still had references to 'struct ucontext' but only in the form of an exemplar structure. The following patch fixes the exemplar to match what is in glibc and therefore it won't ever suggest users can use 'struct ucontext'. Applies to master. Please apply.
