doc: only distribute 5 years of ChangeLogs

Remove old log files that have corresponding entries
in the source code repository.
This saves about 2.5MB uncompressed, 0.5M compressed.

* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): Adjust to taking all
logs since a particular version (8.15 in this case).
Also mention in the truncated log where to get older entries.
(changelog_etc): Remove the no longer distributed files.
* build-aux/git-log-fix: Remove now unused entries.
* ChangeLog-200[5-8]: Delete.
* doc/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise.
* po/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise.

- [2.0.15]
-* date no longer accepts e.g., September 31 in the MMDDhhmm syntax
-* fix a bug in this package's .m4 files and in configure.ac
- [2.0.14]
-* nohup's behavior is changed as follows, to conform to POSIX 1003.1-2001:
-  - nohup no longer adjusts scheduling priority; use "nice" for that.
-  - nohup now redirects stderr to stdout, if stderr is not a terminal.
-  - nohup exit status is now 126 if command was found but not invoked,
-    127 if nohup failed or if command was not found.
- [2.0.13]
-* uname and uptime work better on *BSD systems
-* pathchk now exits nonzero for a path with a directory component
-    that specifies a non-directory
- [2.0.12]
-* kill: new program
-* who accepts new options: --all (-a), --boot (-b), --dead (-d), --login,
-   --process (-p), --runlevel (-r), --short (-s), --time (-t), --users (-u).
-   The -u option now produces POSIX-specified results and is the same as
-   the long option `--users'.  --idle is no longer the same as -u.
-* The following changes apply on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
-  and are required by the new POSIX standard:
-   - `date -I' is no longer supported.  Instead, use `date --iso-8601'.
-   - `nice -NUM' is no longer supported.  Instead, use `nice -n NUM'.
-* New 'uname' options -i or --hardware-platform, and -o or --operating-system.
-   'uname -a' now outputs -i and -o information at the end.
-   New uname option --kernel-version is an alias for -v.
-   Uname option --release has been renamed to --kernel-release,
-   and --sysname has been renamed to --kernel-name;
-   the old options will work for a while, but are no longer documented.
-* 'expr' now uses the LC_COLLATE locale for string comparison, as per POSIX.
-* 'expr' now requires '+' rather than 'quote' to quote tokens;
-    this removes an incompatibility with POSIX.
-* date -d 'last friday' would print a date/time that was one hour off
-    (e.g., 23:00 on *thursday* rather than 00:00 of the preceding friday)
-    when run such that the current time and the target date/time fall on
-    opposite sides of a daylight savings time transition.
-    This problem arose only with relative date strings like `last monday'.
-    It was not a problem with strings that include absolute dates.
-* factor is twice as fast, for large numbers
- [2.0.11]
-* setting the date now works properly, even when using -u
-* `date -f - < /dev/null' no longer dumps core
-* some DOS/Windows portability changes
- [2.0j]
-* `date -d DATE' now parses certain relative DATEs correctly
- [2.0i]
-* fixed a bug introduced in 2.0h that made many programs fail with a
- `write error' when invoked with the --version option
- [2.0h]
-* all programs fail when printing --help or --version output to a full device
-* printf exits nonzero upon write failure
-* yes now detects and terminates upon write failure
-* date --rfc-822 now always emits day and month names from the `C' locale
-* portability tweaks for Solaris8, Ultrix, and DOS
- [2.0g]
-* date now handles two-digit years with leading zeros correctly.
-* printf interprets unicode, \uNNNN \UNNNNNNNN, on systems with the
-  required support;  from Bruno Haible.
-* stty's rprnt attribute now works on HPUX 10.20
-* seq's --equal-width option works more portably
- [2.0f]

- [2.0e]
-* stty: fix long-standing bug that caused test failures on at least HPUX
-  systems when COLUMNS was set to zero
-* still more portability fixes
-* unified lib/: now that directory and most of the configuration framework
-  is common between fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils
- [2.0d]
-* fix portability problem with sleep vs lib/strtod.c's requirement for -lm
- [2.0c]
-* fix portability problems with nanosleep.c and with the new code in sleep.c
- [2.0b]
-* Regenerate lib/Makefile.in so that nanosleep.c is distributed.
- [2.0a]
-* sleep accepts floating point arguments on command line
-* sleep's clock continues counting down when sleep is suspended
-* when a suspended sleep process is resumed, it continues sleeping if
-  there is any time remaining
-* who once again prints whatever host information it has, even without --lookup
-Changes in release 2.0
-* disable stty tests (otherwise they fail) when `make check' is run via rsh
- [1.16m]
-* false and true now ignore --help and --version when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set
- [1.16l]
-* false and true are now C programs rather than shell scripts
- [1.16k]
-* fix typos in my version of AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
-* fix dates on config files so builders don't need autoconf/automake
- [1.16j]
-* work around problems with my use of AC_SEARCH_LIBS
-* fix a bug in id
- [1.16i]
-* portability tweaks for lib/readutmp.[ch] and src/date.c
- [1.16h]
-* seq with no arguments now elicits a useful diagnostic rather than a segfault
-* portability tweaks to work around utmpname differences
-* who works on Solaris
- [1.16g]
-* factor now uses uintmax_t, so the largest number it can factor is now 2^64 - 1
-  on systems with type `long long'.
-* nohup no longer modifies the shell's search path
-* `basename /' now prints `/', per the single unix spec
-* `who --lookup' no longer erroneously reports `localhost' for IP addresses
-  for which it could not do a reverse lookup.
-* `id user' wouldn't report a group id in some situations.  Now it always does.
- [1.16f]
-* chroot now calls chdir ("/") after chroot.
-* `date -s' now exits with nonzero status upon failure
-* new autoconf tests detect bugs in vendor mktime from Irix-6.4 and SunOS4.1.4
-  Your executables will be a little larger on such systems because you'll use
-  GNU's mktime function, but date will work more reliably.
-* hostid: new program
-* `yes --help' and `yes --version' print those strings when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
-  environment variable is set
-* who no longer does DNS lookups by default -- the new option, --lookup (-l),
-  enables lookups
- [1.16e]
-* pinky: new lightweight finger-style program
- [1.16d]
-* the groups script now exits non-zero and doesn't print anything more

- [1.16c]
-* date -u -d DATE now prints the correct date
-* don't remove already-installed su unless it is possible to install the
-  new one setuid root.
- [1.16b]
- [1.16a]
-* expr accepts new unary operator, quote.
-* expr now returns 0 for failed matches where pattern contained e.g., `\\('

-* fix bug in getdate.y that broke date's --date=DATE option on systems
-  like SunOS4.

-  Now, `nice -18 -- nice' prints `18'.  Before it printed `8'.
-* internationalized diagnostic messages

-* `date -d' works better.  Before, `date -d '4apr94'' produced
-  `Sun Apr  3 23:00:00 CDT 1994'.
-User visible changes in release 1.9.4
-* Repair stty option handling.
-User visible changes in release 1.9.3
-* `stty -a -g' gets a diagnostic
-* `stty {-a|-g} any-other-argument' gets a diagnostic
-* stty no longer ignores some of its arguments
-* basename and dirname no longer treat `--' specially
-* `basename -- file.c .c' generates a usage error.  Before, it output `file'.
-* `basename file-dist -dist' outputs `file'.  Before it output `file-dist'.

-* expr '' == 0 works (before, it printed 1)
-* stty no longer fails on telnet sessions to Solaris systems
-* `cd /etc; who utmp' now works.  Before, any filename argument had to be
-  absolute or relative to /dev.

-* expr recognizes the string `0' as zero
-* better support for Linux, Dec Alpha, and SGI Irix
-* all programs (even true and false) accept --version and --help options
-* uname's --version option is no longer equivalent to its -v option
-* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
-  some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
-* work around problem where $(srcdir)/config.h was used instead of
-  ../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
-  and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.
