Great idea.  Unfortunately I do not know the Docbook magic to do
this for the libstdc++ documentation, so I went ahead with the

	* doc/xml/manual/appendix_contributing.xml: Convert link to
	ansi.org to https.
	Update link to the C++ standard at ansi.org.

	* doc/xml/faq.xml: Remove information redundant with the above;
	instead add a reference.
