Remove separate version numbering for ecpg preprocessor.
...
Once upon a time, it made sense for the ecpg preprocessor to have its
own version number, because it used a manually-maintained grammar that
wasn't always in sync with the core grammar. But those days are
thankfully long gone, leaving only a maintenance nuisance behind.
Let's use the PG v10 version numbering changeover as an excuse to get
rid of the ecpg version number and just have ecpg identify itself by
PG_VERSION. From the user's standpoint, ecpg will go from "4.12" in
the 9.6 branch to "10" in the 10 branch, so there's no failure of
monotonicity.

We don't tag the translations repository any more, because the commits
into postgresql contain the git hashes, and that's authoritative.

Don't generate plain-text HISTORY and src/test/regress/README anymore.
...
Providing this information as plain text was doubtless worth the trouble
ten years ago, but it seems likely that hardly anyone reads it in this
format anymore. And the effort required to maintain these files (in the
form of extra-complex markup rules in the relevant parts of the SGML
documentation) is significant. So, let's stop doing that and rely solely
on the other documentation formats.
Per discussion, the plain-text INSTALL instructions might still be worth
their keep, so we continue to generate that file.
Rather than remove HISTORY and src/test/regress/README from distribution
tarballs entirely, replace them with simple stub files that tell the reader
where to find the relevant documentation. This is mainly to avoid possibly
breaking packaging recipes that expect these files to exist.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because simplifying the markup
requirements for release notes won't help much unless we do it in all
branches.
