* src/m4.c (usage, long_options, main, DEBUGFILE_OPTION): Rename
-o/--error-output to --debugfile, and deprecate the former. This
will allow a future release to be more consistent with other GNU
tools, with -o/--output affecting stdout, not debug.
* doc/m4.texinfo (Invoking m4, Debug Output): Document this.
* NEWS: Document this.
