Nat Goodspeed d653cbdcc6 Finish proofreading pass.
Add a note to the condition_variable::wait_for(..., pred) overload.

fiber_specific_ptr::reset() has no default argument.

Remove mention of launch policy deferred, since no API accepts a launch
policy argument.

Copy construction or copy assignment of a shared_future leaves other.valid()
unchanged. It won't be 'true' unless it was 'true' before.

Mention that [shared_]future::get_exception_ptr() does not invalidate.

Note that 'blocks' and 'suspends' are used interchangeably.

Add some cross-references; add link to std::allocator_arg_t. Clarify the
cross-reference to the paragraph describing BOOST_FIBERS_NO_ATOMICS.

Reformat some overly-long source lines.

[#class_packaged_task]
[section:packaged_task Template `packaged_task<>`]
A __packaged_task__ wraps a callable target that returns a value so that the
return value can be computed asynchronously.
Conventional usage of `packaged_task<>` is like this:
# Instantiate `packaged_task<>` with template arguments matching the signature
of the callable. Pass the callable to the [link packaged_task_packaged_task
constructor].
# Call [member_link packaged_task..get_future] and capture the returned
[template_link future] instance.
# Launch a [class_link fiber] to run the new `packaged_task<>`, passing any
arguments required by the original callable.
# Call [member_link fiber..detach] on the newly-launched `fiber`.
# At some later point, retrieve the result from the `future<>`.
This is, in fact, pretty much what [ns_function_link fibers..async]
encapsulates.
