Convert to auto-generated ChangeLog files.

Browse Source 
Rename existing ChangeLog files so they won't be distributed.
Add targets to maintMakefile to generate ChangeLog from the Git
repository.  This will require a version of gnulib be available.
Because ChangeLog is auto-generated, we have to switch our
automake mode to "foreign" or it will complain and fail.

In this release we will continue to create ChangeLog files by hand so please
don't forget to update the ChangeLog.
Starting with GNU make 4.0 we no longer keep a separate ChangeLog file in
source control. We use the Gnulib git-to-changelog conversion script to
convert the Git comments into ChangeLog-style entries for release. As a
result, please format your Git comments carefully so they will look clean
after conversion. In particular, each line of your comment will have a TAB
added before it so be sure your comment lines are not longer than 72
characters; prefer 70 or less.
Rule #1: Don't rewrite pushed history (don't use "git push --force").
