Adding struct-xxx link pages for structures

["Alejandro Colomar (man-pages)" <alx.manpages@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael,

We have some structures defined in system_data_types(7) for which we 
don't have a link page, because it would have shadowed other more 
important pages.

I've been documenting 'struct stat', and it happens the same: I'd shadow 
stat(2) with stat(3).

But I need to refer to stat(3) (or whatever link page we decide to have) 
from stat(2).  So I need one (referring to system_data_types(7) isn't 
very informative).

How about adding struct-stat(2)?

However, that means that we should also add struct-xxx(3) / union-xxx(3) 
for all of the structs/unions we have documented there (one might 
reasonably expect to be able to find struct-aiocb(3) or union-sigval(3) 
if there's a struct-stat(3)).

What do you think about it?

Thanks,

Alex
