ChangeLog housekeeping.

Archive old `ChangeLog` file.

We no longer write ChangeLog entries manually; instead, the file will be
created from commit messages (which should be formatted in GNU's ChangeLog
style) by a call to

  gitlog-to-changelog --format='%B%n'

or something similar (this script is part of the 'gnulib' repository).

------------
If you want to contribute to FreeType it is recommended to install the
`git-merge-changelog` program we use a `ChangeLog` file, which often
prevents simple merging due to conflicts. Most GNU/Linux
distributions have a package for this program; otherwise you can
install it via the 'gnulib' git repository. Detailed instructions can
be found at the beginning of
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/lib/git-merge-changelog.c
To make it actually work, add to file `.git/config` in the FreeType
git repository (or to your `$HOME/.gitconfig` file) the lines
[merge "merge-changelog"]
name = GNU-style ChangeLog merge driver
driver = /usr/local/bin/git-merge-changelog %O %A %B
