Remove obsolete stuff in docs/ 

- Remove docs/CHANGES; see git release tag description.
- Remove docs/CREDITS; see git history.
- Deprecate filters. Filters used to be necessary for getting
    https or Atom feeds. Since both of these were very common, everybody
    had to use filters. Now snownews reads https and Atom natively
    and filters just aren't needed any more for most people. So keep
    supporting them, but stop mentioning them favorably in the docs.
- Remove the bugzilla example script. Having contributed scripts in the
    main repository is a bad idea because I can't test them and thus
    have no idea whether they work. They were never even installed by
    default, making discoverability a problem.
