These days, a "home page" is understood to be only "the main web page

of web pages and related content" (Wikipedia).

* doc/lispref/tips.texi (Comment Tips): Update information on section
headings to reflect common usage.
Previously the tips stated that if the code is split up into multiple
sections, then that should be done by splitting up the ";;; Code:"
section into multiple sub-sections.
However about half the libraries in Emacs instead use multiple
top-level sections. We update the tips (aka conventions) to allow
this common usage, but because it is awkward if there is a section
named "Code", which contains only some of the code instead of all of
it, we now recommend that that section should be empty in this case.
We cannot just give up on the "Code:" section/heading because that is
an old convention that is followed be nearly every library and because
it is likely that there are some utilities out there that depend on
its presence.

Thanks to 57e2ca5c50 and related changes, opening brackets at the
leftmost column inside doc strings are no longer mistaken for the
start of a defun.
* doc/lispref/tips.texi (Documentation Tips): Clarify recommendation
and move it down the list.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.
This mostly changes http: to https: in URLs. It also updates
some URLs that have moved, removes some URLs that no longer
work, recommends against using procmail (procmail.org no
longer works), and removes some mentions of the
no-longer-existing Gmane, LPF and VTW.
It doesn't update all URLs, just the ones I had time for.

Prefer https: to http: un URLs.
* doc/lispref/package.texi (Simple Packages): Use one of the
approved keywords (bug#19490).
* doc/lispref/tips.texi (Library Headers): Use URL instead of
Homepage to make things consistent with "Simple Packages".
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
