Newlib's .texi docs - outdated version number/date

Someone over here stumbled over the version/date mismatch between what is shown
in the libc/libm manuals - and what is the current newlib release.
I think it makes sense to bump the version + date of the two files for the release,
alongside the other version bumps done for the release. Namely, I think it should have
been part of the commit:
commit 9e09d6ed83cce4777a5950412647ccc603040409 (tag: newlib-4.3.0)
Bump up newlib to 4.3.0
Currently, there is the following (I think the first one is okayish
as it does not refer to the newlib version):
libgloss/doc/porting.texi
@subtitle Spring 1995
newlib/libc/libc.texi
@subtitle @code{libc} 2.5.0
@subtitle December 2016
newlib/libm/libm.texi
@subtitle @code{libm} 2.5.0
@subtitle December 2016
The last textual change to libc was mid 2021, the last janitorial/re-org changes were
at the end of last year. Thus, blindly bumping the version/date seems to be at least more
consistent than not updating it at all.
Thoughts?
