description:
Remove the list of functions.

This list was updated only two times in nearly two decades.

(If people need to learn the standard I/O functions in C, it would be better
to mention K&R or some other textbook; if people need to know the list of
functions, it would be better to point out the location of the standard.)

In addition, some clean-up and structural editing.
