Update CVS documentation to be more current and add documentation about
...
git mirror.
Remove information about cvsup and documentation that's more about cvs
than our use of cvs.
Backpatch to 8.4 so we get the git information up on the website as
soon as possible.

Fix the makefiles to fail cleanly if Perl is needed but not present. This
...
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically. Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually. Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull. Per a complaint from Robert Haas.

Update documentation on may/can/might:
...
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

Remove a bunch of antique information from the appendix in the docs

that discusses CVS. Remove the recommendation to use cvs 1.10. Remove
discussion of alleged CVSup binaries on postgresql.org, because they
have not existed for several years. Remove discussion of how to
build cvsup from source because the existing text is outdated, and
more accurate information is available from the CVSup homepage.
