Up to now, NEWS entries for older releases where only added to the
corresponding stable branches, so they were missing in the master
branch. This commit adds the missing entries, taking them from the
respective stable branches.

The goal is to transform the standard documents
README, INSTALL, SUPPORT, CONTRIBUTING, ...
from a pure text format into markdown format, but in such a way
that the documentation remains nicely formatted an easy readable
when viewed with an normal text editor.
To achieve this goal, we use a special form of 'minimalistic' markdown
which interferes as little as possible with the reading flow.
* avoid [ATX headings][] and use [setext headings][] instead
(works for `<h1>` and `<h2>` headings only).
* avoid [inline links][] and use [reference links][] instead.
* avoid [fenced code blocks][], use [indented-code-blocks][] instead.
The transformation will take place in several steps. This commit
introduces mostly changes the formatting and does not chang the
content significantly.

[setext headings]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#setext-headings

In the first step, we just add the .md extension and move some
files around, without changing any content. These changes will
occur in the following commits.
