Bringing Documentation/Changes into sync with scripts/ver_linux

Anybody want to submit values for ??? (or justifu leaving the field blank)
for any of these?  I suspect that some will require footnotes, like
'glibc [note 1] Need 2.foo or later for proper NTPL, 2.bar or later for futex".

Not ready for application, so no signed-off-by:

mount is part of util-linux.

This was just removed - pcmcia-cs support was scheduled to be removed 
in November 2005 (sic), and I hope it won't take too long until it will 
finally be removed.

I don't think these make much sense.

Yeah, I know, but ver_linux reports both for some reason.

And I *just* submitted a patch to actually report pcmciautils version. :)
If ver_linux was only reporting pcmcia-cs version, it probably should be
mentioned here.  Once we actually nuke it, we can certainly remove this
line and the related check in ver_linux.

I was particularly mystified by the C++ reference in ver_linux.  But apparently
somebody felt it was important enough to report, and I was basically just trying
to get the two things in sync.  Probably a good place for a 'N/A' or such.
