docs: re-introduce mention of two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation
Albeit obsolescent and raising warnings in the 'obsolete' category,
that usage is still supported, and will need to be until Autoconf
improves its handling of configure-time-generated package version
numbers. So it's better to explicitly document it again, stating
that it is obsoleted but still working (and why), rather then leaving
it as Yet Another Undocumented Feature (that will mysteriously and
suddenly break some random day in the future).
It's worth giving some background about how we ended up in the
situation that this patch fixes.
We had originally removed support for the long-deprecated two-args
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (see commit v1.12-67-ge186355). Before
that removal could land in a released Automake version, Bob Friesenhahn
made a quite compelling point that the two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
invocation could still be useful for modern, maintained packages like
GraphicsMagick, at least until Autoconf is fixed to offer better support
for "dynamic" package versions (see commit v1.12.2-245-g2abe183 for more
in-depth rationales and references). However, in that commit we didn't
revert the removal of the *documentation* for this two-arguments
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (and no rationale for not doing so was given
in the commit message). Time to remedy that.
Indirectly suggested by Diego Elio Pattenò:

On MacOS X (10.8), since the file system is case-insensitive, RCC
can point to the "Resource Compiler" of the Qt4 Toolkit:

That mismatch causes our configure script to erroneously think that
no working C++ compiler is present, and that is thus necessary to
skip all the test cases requiring such a compiler.

It's much better than having to write it my hand each time; after all,
most of it is either boilerplate or a cope of NEWS entries.

release: distinguish major and minor releases
This is mostly a preparatory change, in view of future
improvements in our release process.

between major and minor releases, with the help of ...

tests: avoid two spurious failures on FreeBSD
Due to the FreeBSD make bug that causes of the well-known automake
bug#7884, two of our bison-requiring tests were failing on FreeBSD.
To avoid this, simply skip the part of these tests affected by that
bug.
* t/yacc-bison-skeleton.sh: Here, using the 'yl_distcheck' function.
* t/yacc-bison-skeleton-cxx.sh: Likewise.
* t/yacc-nodist.sh: While at it, use the 'yl_distcheck' here
as well, instead of running "$MAKE distcheck" only when $MAKE
is GNU make.
