updated HISTORY to 4.2BSD
The mkdir(2) manpage incorrectly states:
The mkdir() system call appeared in VersionĀ 1 AT&T UNIX.
This should be 4.2BSD (or 4.1cBSD) in 1983.
The mkdir syscall was added in BSD by Kirk McKuisick:

The OpenGroup lists mkdir(2) appeared in 4.2BSD
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695299/functions/mkdir.html
TUHS shows it in 4.1cBSD (a beta of 4.2BSD)
http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.1cBSD/usr/man/man2/mkdir.2
System V (still) doesn't have mkdir(2) (See "System Calls" section)
