xrefs to FAQs are creating realtive links. Add xreflabel where
appropriate.

Add patch, and make cocom unconditional in list of build prerequisites.
Even though the products of these tools are checked in, these tools are
required when building in a fresh git checkout, presumably due to the
order in which git creates the files resulting in timestamps which
indicate that the output of rules using these tools are older than
the inputs.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-December/250124.html
Also drop a duplicate sentence about 'fetch sources from git'.
Add a configure option '--disable-doc' to disable building of the
documentation by the 'all' target.
Check for the required tools at configure time, and require them if
building documentation is enabled.
Even if building the documentation was diabled with '--disable-doc',
'make -C doc' at the top-level can still make the documentation, if the
documentation tools were found. If the tools were not found, 'missing'
is used to issue a warning about that.
Update instructions for building Cygwin appropriately.
(Building documentation remains the default to increase the chances of
noticing when building the documentation is broken.)
Also:
Remove obsolete reference to g-b-s
Remove mention of ancient pre-invisiconsole behaviour of setup scripts

Add CONTRIBUTORS file to keep track of licensing.
