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_exit()</function> requests the event loop
specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> event loop object to
exit. The <parameter>code</parameter> parameter may be any integer
value and is returned as-is by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_loop</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
after the last event loop iteration. It may also be queried
using <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function>, see
below. </para>
<para>When exiting is requested the event loop will stop listening
for and dispatching regular event sources. Instead it will proceed
with executing only event sources registered with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
in the order defined by their priority. After all exit event
sources have been dispatched the event loop is terminated.</para>
<para>If <function>sd_event_exit()</function> is invoked a second
time while the event loop is still processing exit event sources,
the exit code stored in the event loop object is updated, but
otherwise no further operation is executed.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function> may be used to
query the exit code passed into
<function>sd_event_exit()</function> earlier.</para>
<para>While the full positive and negative integer ranges may be used
for the exit code, care should be taken not pick exit codes that
conflict with regular exit codes returned by
<function>sd_event_loop()</function>, if these exit codes shall be
distinguishable.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_exit()</function> and <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function>
return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
<refsect2>
