Patch to sort out dates in manuals


Various manuals had "last updated" dates in them.  They never get reliably 
updated, whether on a notion of "last change of any sort" or "last 
significant change".  This patch removes them.  Some had their own version 
number reference, as if to indicate the version of the last significant 
change; again, not reliably updated and removed by this patch in favour of 
the common version number from gcc-common.texi.  The treelang manual had 
its own treelang version number; removed.  Some copyright dates were out 
of date; updated (along with adding 2005 for these changes).  Where a 
subtitle was "last updated [date] for version [...]" but the version 
number was also mentioned elsewhere, I removed the whole subtitle.  The 
cppinternals manual said "The GNU C preprocessor in GCC 3.x has been 
completely rewritten", which seemed to need changing now 4.x is current 
and 3.x is past history; simply describing what the preprocessor is, 
rather than that it was rewritten some years ago, seemed best.

The libiberty manual uses its own last update date and reference to GCC 3.  
It can't use the common version number in gcc-common.texi because 
libiberty isn't only used with GCC.  I think it should just not give 
either a date or a version number; in any case, this patch doesn't touch 
it as being rather separate from the other GCC manuals.

It passes "make info" and "make dvi".  Applied to mainline.
