    dist: accept .md versions for README et al.
    
    This change was suggested by madmurphy; some ideas were taken
    from the patch he provided.
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2021-06/msg00005.html
    
    * bin/automake.in (@toplevelmd_ok): new global, listing the files
    for which we will accept .md versions.
    (@common_files): remove those files from there.
    (handle_dist): check for .md if non-.md is absent.
    (handle_minor_options): check for README-alpha.md.
    (check_gnu_standards): accept .md version if present.
    (check_gnits_standards): likewise.
    (usage): output list of .md-accepted files.
    * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): document.
    
    * t/toplevelmd.sh: new test.
    * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_tests): add it.
    * NEWS: mention new feature.
