Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek b1de39dec8 man: make separate "Errors" sections subsection of "Return value"
Logically, this is better, because we're describing a subset of possible
return values. Visually this also looks quite good because groff renders
refsect2 much less prominently.

Also rewrap things, add <constant> in various places, fix some typos.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> may be
used to enable or disable the event source object specified as
<parameter>source</parameter>. The <parameter>enabled</parameter>
parameter takes one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> (to
enable), <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> (to disable) or
<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>. If invoked with
<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant> the event source will be
enabled but automatically reset to
<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> after the event source was
dispatched once.</para>
<para>Event sources that are disabled will not result in event
loop wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled
again.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> may be
used to query whether the event source object
<parameter>source</parameter> is currently enabled or not. It
returns the enablement state (one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>,
<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>)
in <parameter>enabled</parameter>, if it is not <constant>NULL</constant>.
It also returns true if the event source is not disabled.</para>
<para>Event source objects are enabled when they are first created
with calls such as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. However,
depending on the event source type they are enabled continuously
(<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or only for a single invocation
of the event source handler
(<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). For details see the
respective manual pages.</para>
<para>As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as
long as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it
is a good idea to combine a call to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
with a prior call to
<function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> with
<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, to ensure the event source is
not dispatched again until all other remaining references are dropped.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> returns a non-negative
integer. <function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> returns zero if the source is disabled
(<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>) and a positive integer otherwise. On failure, they return a negative
errno-style error code.</para>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
