* man/help2man: sync changes to commit 8fe02612
The main change here is to Use \f(CR for monospace text
when using groff in troff mode.
Previously \f(CW was used, but that's not portable.

<title>doc: use bold style for man page references</title>

It's more common to use bold style than not,
for references to other man pages.
Ideally each man page renderer would highlight references,
but currently some rely on styles in the page itself.

* man/help2man: Implement a --bold-refs option that
will mark up references like "name(1)" with bold
style around the "name" component.
* man/local.mk: Pass --bold-refs to our help2man unless disabled.
* configure.ac: Add a --disable-bold-man-page-references option.

<title>build: reinstate distribution of man pages</title>

<content type='text'>
man pages change little between systems,
so falling back to distributed pages make sense
when cross compiling or lacking perl.

* man/local.mk: Add all man pages to EXTRA_DIST
so that they're distributed in the generated tarball.
Use the dummy-man page generator if cross compiling.
Set TZ to avoid a distcheck failure where man pages
used a diffent month than those rebuilt (with a .timestamp).
* man/dummy-man: Only fall back to generating a stub
if copying an existing man page fails.
* man/help2man: Sync portable TZ=UTC0 specification
from upstream help2man.
* NEWS: Mention the build-related change.

A lot of this is converting http: to https:.
Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and
are not easy to figure out what they were.
Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.

* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Add a direct reference
to the corresponding online info documentation.  Corresponding
redirects were put in place on www.gnu.org to allow for concise links.
* help2man: Adjust to add the "online help" link (and subsequent
translation bugs link) to a "REPORTING BUGS" section.
Also add the concise links for further information in --help
to the "SEE ALSO" section, and dispense with the more verbose
default for that.
