 I think this kind of changes need a consensus because several POSIX
 functions use "filedes" in the specification document.  r254484 by
 pjd was a similar change (s/type/af/ in gethostbyaddr()).

 In SUSv4, fdopen() uses "filedes" and openat() uses "fd", for
 example.  Consistency throughout our manual pages is generally good.
 However, I also see the benefit of using the same expression as the
 specification even if it is inconsistent.  What do you think?
