Most distributions probably ship reset from ncurses, which means
util-linux reset(1) is unlikely to be in use anywhere. Assuming the
previous being true it is almost unimaginable anyone one would be using
the alternative script, so remove it and mark the script deprecated.

The last/lastb(1) from sysvinit has been around for about two years,
and the better implementation is already part of releases 2.24 to 2.26.
It should be safe to remove the unused last code from the source tree.

We want to remove it in 2 years, March 2017.

The sfdisk does not care about compatibility with classic DOS
partitioning, and it does not warn about incompatibility with DOS at
all. It means that --Linux is default and it's unnecessary to use
this option.
It's the same situation like with "--unit S", these options are very
probably often used in scripts, and these all is default now. So for
backward compatibility new sfdisk accepts these options on command
line, but prints "option is deprecated" warning message.

Theodore Ts'o:
I'll add that I've never been convinced that the mkfs front end is all
that useful. It's probably better for people to explicitly run
/sbin/mkfs.xfs, /sbin/mkfs.ext4, etc.., so you don't have to worry
about which options get passed down to the file system specific mkfs
program, and which ones are interpreted by /sbin/mkfs --- and I don't
believe /sbin/mkfs adds enough (err, any?) value that using
"/sbin/mkfs -t xxx" vs "/sbin/mkfs.xxx" makes any sense whatsoever.
... and I absolutely agree.

The first removal managed to remove only most of the elvtune, this commit
will complete the task.

The goal is to consolidate the very basic linux commands and minimize
dependence on another packages (e.g. shadow-utils). It seems better to
keep newgrp, vipw and vigr as non-deprecated for now. Maybe we will
found a way how to improve the code. We will see... :-)

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.
