manual: Update @standards for [__]va_copy.
The ISO version in which va_copy was introduced is made explicit, and __va_copy is given @standards. The description is updated to be more clear about the origins of each macro, and the reader is informed these macros are now provided by the compiler (information previously embedded in a Texinfo @comment). * lang.texi (va_copy): Change standard from ISO to C99. (__va_copy): Add standard and header annotation. Update description for clarity of origins and current use.

-@c This is no longer provided by glibc, but rather by the compiler.
The @code{va_copy} macro allows copying of objects of type
@code{va_list} even if this is not an integral type. The argument pointer
in @var{dest} is initialized to point to the same argument as the
pointer in @var{src}.
