Hi!

I rewrote these sections.  That's the reason I'm being slowish in
replying to email, and now I'll be checking old mail for some time, so
I may still take some time to review some mails.  Sorry; I hope you
find it worthy :)

Please comment on this recent patch (currently the commit at HEAD) if
there's anything you'd like to improve.  It's a huge one, so reviewing
it would be crazy, but feel free to comment on anything you don't like
about these sections now that I changed them.

TL;DR:

STANDARDS now almost only covers C11 and POSIX.1-2008.  Everything
older goes to HISTORY.  Soon (as soon as the new standards are
published, so one year or so), STANDARDS will only cover C23 and
POSIX.1-202x (2023?), and C11 and POSIX.1-2008 will be moved to
HISTORY.

VERSIONS mostly covers variants of an API in different systems, or
different APIs that provide the same functionality (less often).

Cheers,
Alex
