COPYING in repository

[Eric Blake]

Now that automake 1.10.2 is released, ./bootstrap results in a warning:

Makefile.am: installing `./COPYING' using GNU General Public License v3 file
Makefile.am:     Consider adding the COPYING file to the version control system
Makefile.am:     for your code, to avoid questions about which license your 
project uses.

I'm installing this to silence the warning.  It shouldn't have any impact on 
tarball generation.

Subject: [PATCH] Keep COPYING in repository.

* Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Don't remove COPYING.
* .cvsignore: Don't ignore it.
* .gitignore: Likewise.
* COPYING: Store in repository, per automake 1.10.2
recommendation.

        Document optimized forloop.
        * doc/m4.texinfo (Improved forloop): Mention alternate style that
        avoids define overhead.
