I've committed this version, which explicitly encodes the output in UTF-8 
so it will run in any locale.

The only bug reported from the list of fixed bugs is 18863 
("bits/siginfo.h: mips/ia64 missing si_syscall updates", which isn't 
closed because only the mips fix has been committed, not the ia64 fix).

Add script to list fixed bugs for the NEWS file.

This patch adds a script to list fixed bugs for the NEWS file, as
proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg01043.html>, with the
bugs listed in the format proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-11/msg00088.html>.
