PATCH: >& documentation



This patch corrects the documentation of >& to match the actual
behaviour, and adds entries to the documentation for all the related
append/clobber variants.  (Anything matching /(\&\>\>?|\>\>?\&)(\||\!|)/
is a valid stderr redirection operator.)  This should be applied on top
of Bart's 8184.
