Re: draft mcount(3) man page

To cut down on future confusion we should probably (if it's not
excessively expensive for some reason) change all the compiler configs
to call "__mcount_hook" and change the name of the C function to
always be "__mcount_impl" or "__mcount_backend" or something like
that. Having both _mcount and __mcount is terrible, especially when
their roles are exchanged on ~half the ports we have.

Yeah, this really is begging for a clean-up.
