manual: Mark perror as MT-unsafe and update check-safety.sh
The manual marked perror as MT-safe, but then listed a remark indicating that it was unsafe because of a race between the function and access to stderr. The function is indeed MT-unsafe because of the unlocked access to stderr internals and bug 32730 has been filed to address this issue. The script manual/check-safety.sh should have caught this issue, but a missed escaping of "?" along with searching of all inputs again via "$@" resulted in a non-functional regexp. In order to avoid regressions we also update check-safety.sh. The script manual/check-safety.sh is updated in the following ways: * The MT-unsafe remarks in MT-safe context check is fixed. - It now detects the perror safety note mistake. * Comments updated indicating that we allow MT context marks to count for other contexts if they are related. - This is why commit ad9c4c536115ba38be3e63592a632709ec8209b4 failed and the failure is now understood as expected. * All checks now have verbose output. * Back reference based duplicate checks are removed. - They are too complex and don't cover all cases. No regressions on x86_64.

@c to that instead of stderr, to avoid orienting it.
