PATCH 1/1 signal.7: remove out-of-date description

man-pages version: latest git repository
why: New description on LinuxThreads and NPTL's reserving of real-time signals was added at the previous paragraph, so the out-of-date description should be removed.

the entire set of real-time signals can be used for application-defined purposes.
-(Note, however, that the LinuxThreads implementation uses the first -three real-time signals.)

The default action for an unhandled real-time signal is to terminate the receiving process.
