sh(1): Clean up documentation of built-in commands.

Browse Source 
Make sure all built-in commands are in the subsection named such, except
exp, let and wordexp which are deliberately undocumented. The text said only
built-ins that really need to be a built-in were documented there but in
fact almost all of them were already documented.
