man: fully document sd-event interfaces
This completes the set of man pages for sd-event and contains some minor other fixes for other man pages too. The sd_event_set_name(3) man page is renamed to sd_event_source_set_description(3), which is the correct name of the concept today.

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_exit()</function> requests the event loop
+ specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> event loop object to
+ exit. The <parameter>code</parameter> parameter may be any integer
+ value and is returned as-is by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_loop</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ after the last event loop iteration. It may also be be queried
+ using <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function>, see
+ below. </para>
+
+ <para>When exiting is requested the event loop will stop listening
+ for and dispatching regular event sources. Instead it will proceed
+ with executing only event sources registered with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ in the order defined by their priority. After all exit event
+ sources have been dispatched the event loop is terminated.</para>
+
+ <para>If <function>sd_event_exit()</function> is invoked a second
+ time while the event loop is still processing exit event sources,
+ the exit code stored in the event loop object is updated, but
+ otherwise no further operation is executed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function> may be used to
+ query the exit code passed into
+ <function>sd_event_exit()</function> earlier.</para>
+
+ <para>While the full positive and negative integer ranges may be used
+ for the exit code, care should be taken not pick exit codes that
+ conflict with regular exit codes returned by
+ <function>sd_event_loop()</function>, if these exit codes shall be
+ distinguishable.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, <function>sd_event_exit()</function> and
+ <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function> return 0 or a positive
+ integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
+ code.</para>
