xzdiff, xzgrep, and xzmore: Rewrite the man pages. The main reason is a kind of silly one: xz-man.pot contains strings from all man pages in XZ Utils. The man pages of xzdiff, xzgrep, and xzmore were under GPLv2 and the rest under 0BSD. Thus xz-man.pot contained strings under two licences. po4a creates the translated man pages from the combined 0BSD+GPLv2 xz-man.pot. I haven't liked this mixing in xz-man.pot but the Translation Project requires that all man pages must be in the same .pot file. So a separate xz-man-gpl.pot wasn't an option. Since these man pages are short, rewriting them was quick enough. Now xz-man.pot is entirely under 0BSD and marking the per-file licenses is simpler. As a bonus, some wording hopefully is now slightly better although it's perhaps a matter of taste. NOTE: In xzgrep.1, the EXIT STATUS section was written by me in the commit d796b6d7fdb8b7238b277056cf9146cce25db604 so that's why that section could be taken as is from the old xzgrep.1.

Major update to the xzgrep and other scripts based on the latest versions found from gzip CVS repository. configure will try to find a POSIX shell to be used by the scripts. This should ease portability on systems which have pre-POSIX /bin/sh. xzgrep and xzdiff support .xz, .lzma, .gz, and .bz2 files. xzmore and xzless support only .xz and .lzma files. The name of the xz executable used in these scripts is now correct even if --program-transform-name has been used.

.BR more (1).
This is because
.B xzmore
uses a pipe to pass the decompressed data to
.BR more (1).
.BR xzless (1)
uses
.BR less (1)
which provides more advanced features.
