all: Remove all in-file ChangeLogs and most versioning

In-file ChangeLog information is no longer required in the modern VCS world. In-file versioning should only be provided when it helps to narrow down bugs or problems. So they are valid as script / program version information which the user can quote when reporting bugs. They are not required on AutoTools files for example.

-#				Use automake sub-directory and tar	#
-#				Posix format directives.		#
-# 07/04/2018	MG	1.0.11	Change package versioning to use	#
-#				hard-coded value. This is due to the	#
-#				use of github which produces source	#
-#				tarballs which can be used for package	#
-#				generation. These tarballs are used	#
-#				outside of git so git versioning is not	#

-#				probably use the source tarball rather	#
-#				than a dist tarball.			#
