[Bug 1804185] [NEW] glibc has statx support in 18.10, but the manpage claims otherwise

[Murukesh Mohanan]

Public bug reported:

Glibc added statx support in 2.28 [1], the same version used in 18.10.
But `man 2 statx` still has:

> NOTES
>       Glibc  does  not  (yet)  provide  a  wrapper  for  the  statx() system call; call it using
>       syscall(2).

I have tested it, and I can directly use `statx(2)` in 18.10. This note
should be removed.
