Use git-version-gen for version names between releases.

* .cvsignore (.tarball-version, GNUmakefile, *~): Add.
* .gitignore (/.tarball-version, /GNUmakefile, /*~): Add.
* .prev-version: New.
* .version.in: Remove.
* ChangeLog: Remove the $Id$ previously used for capturing the CVS
revision.
* GNUmakefile: Remove, now copied from Gnulib.
* Makefile.am: Add code suggested by comments in
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(EXTRA_DIST): Remove GNUmakefile, handled by Gnulib.  Add maint.mk,
.prev-version, and .version.
* NEWS (2.3b+): Rename to...
(?.?): ... this because we're dropping the "+" version naming scheme,
but, in general, we still can't be sure of our next release name.
* bootstrap: Add a quick hack to remove from .gitignore the
GNUmakefile entry that gnulib adds.  We already have a /GNUmakefile
entry.  This should really be fixed in gnulib instead.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnumakefile.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set version name by invoking
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove .version, now generated by
build-aux/git-version-gen.
* maint.mk: New, copied from coreutils.
* doc/.cvsignore (bison.1): Add.
* doc/.gitignore (/bison.1): Add.
* doc/bison.1: Remove, generated.
* src/.cvsignore (revision.c): Remove.
* src/.gitignore (/revision.c): Remove.
* src/Makefile.am (bison_SOURCES): Remove revision.c and revision.h.
(BUILT_SOURCES): Remove revision.c.
(revision.c): Remove.
* src/getargs.c (version): Don't print revision after the VERSION.
* src/revision.h: Remove.

-.TH BISON "1" "July 2008" "bison 2.3b+" "User Commands"
-.SH NAME
-bison \- GNU Project parser generator (yacc replacement)
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B bison
-[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fIFILE\fR
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Bison
-is a parser generator in the style of
-.IR yacc (1).
-It should be upwardly compatible with input files designed
-for
-.IR yacc .
-.PP
-Input files should follow the
-.I yacc
-convention of ending in
-.BR .y .
-Unlike
-.IR yacc ,
-the generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the prefix
-of the input file.
-Moreover, if you need to put
-.I C++
-code in the input file, you can end his name by a C++-like extension
-(.ypp or .y++), then bison will follow your extension to name the
-output file (.cpp or .c++).
-For instance, a grammar description file named
-.B parse.yxx
-would produce the generated parser in a file named
-.BR parse.tab.cxx ,
-instead of
-.IR yacc 's
-.B y.tab.c
-or old
-.I Bison
-version's
-.BR parse.tab.c .
-.PP
-This description of the options that can be given to
-.I bison
-is adapted from the node
-.B Invocation
-in the
-.B bison.texinfo
-manual, which should be taken as authoritative.
-.PP
-.I Bison
-supports both traditional single-letter options and mnemonic long
-option names.  Long option names are indicated with
-.B \-\-
-instead of
-.BR \- .
-Abbreviations for option names are allowed as long as they
-are unique.  When a long option takes an argument, like
-.BR \-\-file-prefix ,
-connect the option name and the argument with
-.BR = .
-.PP
-Generate LALR(1) and GLR parsers.
-.PP
-Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-The same is true for optional arguments.
