doc: fix ambiguities in logname(1) and whoami(1)
* doc/coreutils.texi (whoami invocation): Clarify it prints names,
not numeric IDs.
* man/whoami.x: Likewise.
* man/logname.x: Reference getlogin(3).
* src/logname.c: Clarify that it prints the login name,
rather than the name of the effective user ID.
