Don't generate plain-text HISTORY and src/test/regress/README anymore.
Providing this information as plain text was doubtless worth the troubleten years ago, but it seems likely that hardly anyone reads it in thisformat anymore. And the effort required to maintain these files (in theform of extra-complex markup rules in the relevant parts of the SGMLdocumentation) is significant. So, let's stop doing that and rely solelyon the other documentation formats.Per discussion, the plain-text INSTALL instructions might still be worththeir keep, so we continue to generate that file.Rather than remove HISTORY and src/test/regress/README from distributiontarballs entirely, replace them with simple stub files that tell the readerwhere to find the relevant documentation. This is mainly to avoid possiblybreaking packaging recipes that expect these files to exist.Back-patch to all supported branches, because simplifying the markuprequirements for release notes won't help much unless we do it in allbranches.
