Fix inconsistency between man page of getpid() with its
implementation.
On 9front getpid() doesn't fail to generate a pid. Therefore it also
doesn't set errstr. Hence the text in the man page describing that
could be removed unless I am overlooking something.
If the text is left in, it suggests that one has to implement error
handling code for a situation that can never arise, at least not on
9front.
See '/sys/src/9/port/proc.c:1772: pidadd(long pid)' for details.
Thanks cinap for clearing up my initial confusion.
