d314730ea4 doc: suggest GNULIB_REFDIR instead of GNULIB_SRCDIR
* README-hacking: Use GNULIB_REFDIR instead of GNULIB_SRCDIR since that
is the correct way to have ./bootstrap do 'git clone --reference'.

28b176085f maint: update all copyright year number ranges
Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...

* gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years
are the only change from the previous gnulib commit.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

555f9061ee build: provide way to bootstrap with python gnulib-tool
* cfg.mk: Add a new "world" default target so that one
can bootstrap (using the python implementation), configure,
and make, by using `make -f cfg.mk`.
* gnulib: Update to latest primarily to test the
bootstrap python implementation which is now in beta test.
* README-hacking: Document the `make -f cfg.mk` shortcut.

d60b2922ff doc: modernize usage of “disk” and “core”

devices are disk devices.  Similarly, don’t assume that main memory
uses magnetic cores, which became obsolete in the 1970s.
* src/du.c (usage):
* src/ls.c (usage):
* src/shred.c (usage): Reword to avoid “disk” in usage messages.

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.

99f4994982 Add better checks and docs for build tools
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710>

* README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as
as optional requirements rather than in their own sections.
Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions.
* README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions
for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes
for Fedora linux.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required.
* bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools,
and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.

* README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,

Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.

* README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
