ASCII-only etc/NEWS etc.

* etc/NEWS, nextstep/README: Revert the recently-added curved
quotes, and stick to ASCII.  This typically involves replacing
curved with straight quotes.  Since etc/NEWS is viewed so often by
UTF-8-ignorant tools, rewrite its non-ASCII text to spell out
Unicode, e.g., replace ‘‒’ with ‘U+2012 (FIGURE DASH)’.
