Subject: build: Remove ChangeLogs

Generate ChangeLog files at "make dist" time, using
gitlog-to-changelog.  We still keep ChangeLog files under "po" and
"intl" directories, since those files are copied as part of gettext
infrastructure and it is still meaningful to have them there.
* .gitignore: Add ChangeLog files.
* Admin/release-steps: Remove mention of running update-changelog
script.
* Admin/update-changelog: Remove.
* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): New rule.
* autogen.sh: Copy gitlog-to-changelog from gnulib.  Create empty
ChangeLog files to suppress Automake errors.
* gettext-tools/doc/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove ChangeLog.0.
* gettext-tools/man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove ChangeLog.0.
* gettext-tools/src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove ChangeLog.0.
* gettext-tools/tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove ChangeLog.0.
* gnulib-local/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove ChangeLog files.
* */ChangeLog: Rename to ChangeLog.0 or ChangeLog.1.
* HACKING: Add brief guideline to submit patches.

+========================
+Do not modify any of the ChangeLog files in gettext.  Starting on
+October 14th, 2015 we put changelog information only in the git commit
+log, and generate a top-level ChangeLog file from logs at "make dist"
+time.
+
+This rule doesn't apply to the ChangeLog files under "intl" and "po"
+directories, because those files are distributed as part of gettext
+infrastructure files pulled with the autopoint program.
