Minor NEWS cleanup, mainly for "Installation Changes" section.
* etc/NEWS: Reorder items. Standardize new --with-libfoo type configure options. Don't say precisely which library versions are needed - it tends to change and people who care can look at configure. Move new Hebrew tutorial entry to "Internationalization changes" section. Small tidy up for imagemagick and gnutls entries. * src/gnutls.c (syms_of_gnutls): More doc (from etc/NEWS).
