Global changes
--------------

-  CREDITS, *
   -  Move in-source contribution records to a new CREDITS file, and
      update copyright notices to be uniform across the project.

-  man/
   -  Use GNU forward declarations of parameters for sizes of array
      parameters.
   -  \fX => \f[X]
   -  Use 'path' instead of 'pathname' for parameters.

-  Release tarball
   -  The size of the release tarball is around 0.1 MiB smaller, thanks
      to having moved contribution records to the new CREDITS file, and
      having simplified (and unified) copyright notices.
