We used to use a very "optimistic" regexp which worked well for
longish symbol names but suffered from too many false positives on
short names. Use a more restrictive regexp, which should make the
recent "weed out" change unnecessary.
This in turn requires the use of '...' more consistently in etc/NEWS* files.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--first-release-regexp): New function.
(help-fns--first-release): Use it. Fix minor issue with the Emacs
version regexp.
(help-fns--mention-first-release): Undo last change.
* etc/NEWS*: Replace `...' with '...'. Indent code examples by at
least 2 spaces. Add previously missing '...' quotes around many of
the variables and functions described.
I audited use of lsh in the Lisp source code, and fixed the
glitches that I found. While I was at it, I replaced uses of lsh
with ash when either will do. Replacement is OK when either
argument is known to be nonnegative, or when only the low-order
bits of the result matter, and is a (minor) win since ash is a bit
more solid than lsh nowadays, and is a bit faster.
* lisp/calc/calc-ext.el (math-check-fixnum):
Prefer most-positive-fixnum to (lsh -1 -1).
* lisp/vc/vc-hg.el (vc-hg-state-fast): When testing fixnum width,
prefer (zerop (ash most-positive-fixnum -32)) to (zerop (lsh -1
32)) (Bug#32485#11).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-lapcode):
Tighten sanity-check for bytecode overflow, by checking that the
result of (ash pc -8) is nonnegative. Formerly this check was not
needed since lsh was used and the number overflowed differently.
* lisp/net/dns.el (dns-write): Fix some obvious sign typos in
shift counts. Evidently this part of the code has never been
exercised.
* lisp/progmodes/hideif.el (hif-shiftleft, hif-shiftright):
* lisp/term/common-win.el (x-setup-function-keys):
Simplify.

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.
These are old copies of online information that is not Emacs-specific.
