Remove NOTES
- From: "Joseph S. Myers" <joseph at codesourcery dot com>

- Subject: Remove NOTES
It was previously discussed that it no longer really makes sense to
have a NOTES text file generated from one bit of the manual (see
<http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00714.html> and
<http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00717.html>). This
patch removes it. Tested with "make info html pdf" as a sanity check
that the manual didn't get somehow broken by the patch.
