manpage: remove bugs which are fixed
"A traced process ignores SIGSTOP" - fixed, expected to be in linux-3.4.x. "A traced process which tries to block SIGTRAP will be sent a SIGSTOP in an attempt to force continuation of tracing." - not needed and no longer done. "On Linux, exciting as it would be, tracing the init process is forbidden" - not true anymore. "When a traced process receives a SIGTRAP signal not associated with tracing, strace will not report that signal correctly." - not true anymore.
