Log:
 Remove invalid remark about pipes.

 The stat structures returned on pipes seems to contain all the
 information required by POSIX. Especially the wording "and thus to a
 pipe" makes little sense, because it seems to imply a certain
 relationship between sockets and pipes that simply isn't there.

No objection to the change; however, some historical commentary: the relationship used to be there, as pipes were contructed from pairs of UNIX domain sockets, as remained the case with fifos until quite recently.
