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

-  Types:
   -  Document functions using off64_t as if they used off_t (except
      for lseek64()).

-  Build system:
   -  Keep file modes in the release tarball.
   -  Fix symlink installation (`make install LINK_PAGES=symlink`).
   -  Add support for using bzip2(1), lzip(1), and xz(1) when installing
      pages and creating release tarballs.
   -  Create reproducible release tarballs.
   -  Move makefiles from lib/ to share/mk/.
   -  Support mdoc(7) pages.
   -  Relicense Makefiles as GPL-3.0-or-later.
   -  Build PostScript and PDF manual pages.
   -  Add support for running our build system on arbitrary source
      trees; this makes it possible to easily run our linters on another
      project's manual pages as easily as `make lint MANDIR=~/src/groff`

-  Licenses:
   -  Relicense ddp.7 from VERBATIM_ONE_PARA to Linux-man-pages-copyleft.
   -  Relicense dir_colors.5 from LDPv1 to GPL-2.0-or-later.
   -  Use new SPDX license identifiers:
      -  Linux-man-pages-1-para                 (was VERBATIM_ONE_PARA)
      -  Linux-man-pages-copyleft-2-para        (was VERBATIM_TWO_PARA)
      -  Linux-man-pages-copyleft-var           (was VERBATIM_PROF)

-  ffix:
   -  use `\%`
   -  un-bracket tbl(1) tables
