docs: relax documentation license by dropping cover text
See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2011-08/msg00022.html
for precedence in diffutils. The autoconf manual, as of this commit,
was still barely below 400 pages.
* doc/autoconf.texi (copying): Drop front- and back-cover texts.
* NEWS: Document this.
Reported by Brian Gough.
