doc: shred: Correct docs on default number of overwrites.
* NEWS: Mention the change to the default number of passes. * doc/Makefile.am: Update constants.texi with the default number of passes shred uses, so that the documentation will automatically reflect any future changes. * doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Update the description of the --iterations option to have the correct default number, while still conveying that there are 25 internal patterns that may be useful.

--dereference-args, and thus works as POSIX requires
+ shred: now does 3 overwrite passes by default rather than 25.
+
ls -l now marks SELinux-only files with the less obtrusive '.',
rather than '+'. A file with any other combination of MAC and ACL
is still marked with a '+'.
