103d2b92da maint: modernize URLs
A lot of this is converting http: to https:.
Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and
are not easy to figure out what they were.
Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.

1118f32145 stat: report file system type for "overlayfs"
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add "overlayfs", and tag it as "remote"
to ensure that tail continues to use the more conservative polling mode.
* README-release: Remove a stale comment about updating fremote()
in tail.c.  Also give a link to *_SUPER_MAGIC definitions
not in the standard linux/magic.h location.
* NEWS: Mention that this file system is recognized.

bb9197c406 maint: improve make src/fs-magic-compare
* README-release: fix the `make` command, and mention how
to get the latest results without requring running a
system with the latest kernel.
* src/local.mk (src/fs-latest-magic.h): A new target to
document how/where to place the latest magic header.
(src/fs-kernel-magic): Adjust to include separately
downloaded header if available.
(src/fs-magic): Undefine MANPAGER as it may impact the
ability to pipe the output of man(1).
(fs-magic-compare): Don't echo the commands run as they're
distracting from the output which needs to be examined.
