    docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations
    
    With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued
    from the command line would have opened the node about the
    invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node
    of the automake documentation.  To invoke the Top node, one
    had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the
    different capitalization).  This was suboptimal, and certainly
    confusing.
    
    With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the
    automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation
    of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info
    automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively.
    
    This change fixes automake bug#8071.
    
    See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in
    the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue.
    
    * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and
    `automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation'
    respectively.
    * NEWS: Update.

 * Miscellaneous changes:
 
+  - In the Automake info documentation, the Top node and the nodes about
+    the invocation of the automake and aclocal programs have been renamed;

   - Automake is now distributed as a gzip-compressed and an xz-compressed
     tarball.  Previously, bzip2 was used instead of xz.
