commit 942670c81dc8071dd75d6213e771daa5d2084cb6

manual/stdio: Further clarify putc, putwc, getc, and getwc
This is a follow-up to 10de4a47ef3f481592e3c62eb07bcda23e9fde4d that
reworded the manual entries for putc and putwc and removed any
performance claims.
This commit further clarifies these entries and brings getc and getwc in
line with the descriptions of putc and putwc, removing any performance
claims from them as well.
