PSC Vote: Keeping old NEWS in the news file for non-EOL versions

It has come to my attention that at least Paul and Sandro are inconvenienced
by not having old NEWS in the news file.
I had assumed finding old stuff using git log grep would be sufficient and
keep our NEWS file not so long.

That said, how about this as a compromise.  Moving forward we'll keep all
that crap in the NEWs file, but as soon as we call EOL on a version, we
remove all remnants of it from the master NEWS.

The thing that annoyed me most about the NEWS file is that it had history
going back to PostGIS 0.1.  So it was very very long. I assume only having
non-EOLd versions wouldn't be too bad and would allow for easy scan of
what's changed.
