Document when types have OS-dependent sizes

As per issue rust-lang#43601, types that can change size depending on the
target operating system should say so in their documentation.

I used this template when adding doc comments:

```
The size of a(n) <name> struct may vary depending on the target
operating system, and may change between Rust releases.
```

For enums, I used "instance" instead of "struct".

I added documentation to these types:
```
- std::time::Instant						(contains sys::time::Instant)
- std::time::SystemTime						(contains sys::time::SystemTime)

- std::io::StdinRaw							(contains sys::stdio::Stdin)
- std::io::StdoutRaw						(contains sys::stdio::Stdout)
- std::io::Stderr							(contains sys::stdio::Stderr)

- std::net::addr::SocketAddrV4				(contains sys::net::netc::sockaddr_in)
- std::net::addr::SocketAddrV6				(contains sys::net::netc::sockaddr_in6)
- std::net::addr::SocketAddr				(contains std::net::addr::SocketAddrV4 and SocketAddrV6)
- std::net::ip::Ipv4Addr					(contains sys::net::netc::in_addr)
- std::net::ip::Ipv6Addr					(contains sys::net::netc::in6_addr)
- std::net::ip::IpAddr						(contains std::net::ip::Ipv4Addr and Ipv6Addr)
```

I also found that these types varied in size; however, I don't think they need documentation, as it's already fairly obvious that they change based on different OS's:

```
- std::fs::DirBuilder						(contains sys::fs::DirBuilder)
- std::fs::FileType							(contains sys::fs::FileType)
- std::fs::Permissions						(contains sys::fs::FilePermissions)
- std::fs::OpenOptions						(contains sys::fs::OpenOptions)
- std::fs::DirEntry							(contains sys::fs::DirEntry)
- std::fs::ReadDir							(contains sys::fs::ReadDir)
- std::fs::Metadata							(contains sys::fs::FileAttr)
- std::fs::File								(contains sys::fs::File)

- std::process::Child						(contains sys::process::Process)
- std::process::ChildStdin					(contains sys::process::AnonPipe)
- std::process::ChildStdout					(contains sys::process::AnonPipe)
- std::process::ChildStderr					(contains sys::process::AnonPipe)
- std::process::Command						(contains sys::process::Command)
- std::process::Stdio						(contains sys::process::Stdio)
- std::process::ExitStatus					(contains sys::process::ExitStatus)
- std::process::Output						(contains std::process::ExitStatus)

- std::sys_common::condvar::Condvar			(contains sys::condvar::Condvar)
- std::sys_common::mutex::Mutex				(contains sys::mutex::Mutex)
- std::sys_common::net::LookupHost			(contains sys::net::netc::addrinfo)
- std::sys_common::net::TcpStream			(contains sys::net::Socket)
- std::sys_common::net::TcpListener			(contains sys::net::Socket)
- std::sys_common::net::UdpSocket			(contains sys::net::Socket)
- std::sys_common::remutex::ReentrantMutex	(contains sys::mutex::ReentrantMutex)
- std::sys_common::rwlock::RWLock			(contains sys::rwlock::RWLock)
- std::sys_common::thread_local::Key		(contains sys::thread_local::Key)
```
Maybe we should just put a comment about the size of structs in the module-level docs for `fs`, `process`, and `sys_common`?

If anyone can think of other types that can change size, comment below. I'm also open to changing the wording.

closes rust-lang#43601.
