Why?
* read-only root
* /etc is pretty bad place for caches
* all is usually cached by udev in /dev/disk/by-* and libblkid
is able to use these symlinks
* boot persistent cache is attractive for very small subset of
Linux machines (and they already need extra udev tunning otherwise
udev will probe all block devices during boot)
* the default is possible to override in /etc/blkid.conf
The systems without /run directory will not be affected by this
change.

Non-return functions should not be combined with `else' clause.
The if shorthands `var = e ? t : f;' need to fit to single line,
and if that does not look good use normal "if else" syntax.
Both tips are mentioned in email bellow.

The USAGE_BEGIN_TAIL is removed as unnecessary.
In between command specific options and --help & --version
USAGE_SEPARATOR is inserted. For now the separator is empty line.
The USAGE_MAN_TAIL is changed to take an argument.

Duplicate text is dealt by referring to license files. The `pg'
command does not need separated license file because the source
file has same text at top of it.

Layout the base for tips on debugging util-linux programs/wrappers.
[kerolasa@iki.fi:
- rename file README.debug -> howto-debug.txt
- wrap over 80 chars wide lines
- change example commands to be relative to util-linux root
- indent command examples

Move readme, licence, change log, relese notes and other
supplementary files to a Documentation directory. This commit
does not change contents of any other but few Makefile.am files.
