ChangeLog housekeeping.
Archive old `ChangeLog` file.
We no longer write ChangeLog entries manually; instead, the file will be
created from commit messages (which should be formatted in GNU's ChangeLog
style) by a call to
gitlog-to-changelog --format='%B%n'
or something similar (this script is part of the 'gnulib' repository).
