    doc: remove older ChangeLog items

    This saves about 0.5MB uncompressed from the tarball.

    * Makefile.am: Following on from v8.26-34-g2c64bc8
    update the oldest documented version to 8.18 which
    is now about 5 years old.  Also remove older ChangeLogs
    that were previously thought to be for changes not
    in the git history, but are adequately recorded upon review.
    * build-aux/ChangeLog-2007: Remove file.
    * lib/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise.
    * m4/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise.
