        src/bin/sh: sh.1

Log Message:
Remove an ancient incorrect notion which somehow survived intact for ages.
"$@" is (as it is in double quotes) not subject to field splitting.  "$@"
generates (potentially) multiple words, but field splitting has nothing
to do with it.

While here, rename the section from "White Space Splitting (Field Splitting)"
to simply be "Field Splitting" as white space is only relevant if it happens
to occur in IFS (which is the default case, but IFS can be anything, and
isn't required to contain any white space at all).
