    To make it easier to do an unattended slackpkg update/upgrade process,
    this commit provides different exit codes for many situations:
    0 Successful slackpkg execution.
    1 Something wrong happened.
    20 No package found to be downloaded, installed, reinstalled,
    upgraded, or removed.
    50 Slackpkg itself was upgraded and you need to re-run it.
    100 There are pending updates.
    Code and the main manpage are updated accordingly.
    In addition, this commit also:
    - removes the ChangeLog.txt in doinst.sh, so the needed
    'slackpkg update' after Slackpkg upgrade won't say it's all OK
    and doesn't need to redo the package lists
    - removes AUTHORS from manpage. Nowadays there is code from many
    people in Slackpkg and it seems a bit unfair to have only my and
    Evaldo's name listed there.

    Let's enable SCHED_AUTOGROUP, which should improve desktop latency under a
    heavy CPU load while being mostly inert on servers. It may be disabled at
    boot time with a “noautogroup” kernel parameter, or at runtime like this:
    echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
    Thanks to gbschenkel.
    SCHED_AUTOGROUP n → y
