Add EXIT STATUS section. From Ryan Kavanagh via jmc@openbsd.

Browse Source 
Bump date. Remove unnecessary quotes.

XXX: The behaviour is now documented as-is, but it is weird.
"biff n; biff y" has an exit status of 1 because biff reports the
notification status when it was started, not after it has finished.
{Free,Open}BSD's biff behave the same, but it's unclear if it's intended
or a bug.
