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_source_get_pending()</function> may be
+ used to determine whether the event source object specified as
+ <parameter>source</parameter> has seen events but has not been
+ dispatched yet (and thus is marked "pending").</para>
+
+ <para>Event source objects initially are not marked pending, when
+ they are created with calls such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ with the exception of those created with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_defer</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ which are immediately marked pending, and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for which the "pending" concept is not defined. For details see
+ the respective manual pages.</para>
+
+ <para>In each event loop iteration one event source of those
+ marked pending is dispatched, in the order defined by the event
+ source priority, as set with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_priority</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>For I/O event sources, as created with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ the call
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_get_io_revents</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ may be used to query the type of event pending in more
+ detail.</para>
+
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success,
+ <function>sd_event_source_get_pending()</function> returns an
+ integer greater than zero when the event source is marked pending,
+ and zero when the event source is not marked pending. On failure,
+ it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
