Make Mercury use shared libraries by default on Linux/x86.

Document that Mercury no longer supports a.out format executables on Linux.
(It's unlikely that the current version of Mercury would work on any Linux system
that uses them anyway.)

configure.in:
	Make shared libraries the default on Linux/x86.

README.Linux:
	This file also covers the Linux/x86_64 port as well.

	Mention that a.out format executables are not supported on Linux.

	Delete most of the remainder of this file since it refers to things
	that are either out-of-date or covered in the user's guide anyway.


scripts/ml.in:
	Don't use static libraries on Linux/x86 by default.

	Update some comments.

NEWS:
	Announce this change.

This file documents the Linux/x86 and Linux/x86_64 ports.
For the Linux/PowerPC port, see README.Linux-PPC.
For the Linux/Apha port, see README.Linux-Alpha.
(Ports to Linux on other architectures have not yet
been attempted, but should not be difficult.)
Linux systems that produce executables in a.out format are not supported by
the Mercury compiler.
