[patch] ChangeLog width 74 -> 80


Hi,

currently ChangeLog has Emacs rule for 74 columns which is also documented at:
	http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist
	ChangeLog standard max-line-length is 74.

Plus code comments should be formatted to 72 columns (unwritten rule,
I haven't found it anywhere) and code should be formatted to 80 columns.

One has to reconfigure editor several times a minute, what about unifying
everything to 80 columns (including the comments formatting).  80 columns is
already a narrow column on the left of the screen on displays nowadays.
