http://elfutils.org/ is now hosted at http://sourceware.org/elfutils/

fedorahosted used to be our home, but we are now hosted at sourceware.

Change the elfutils project home to http://elfutils.org/
Point hosted services (email, release, git, bug tracker and web pages)
to https://sourceware.org/elfutils/

Move design notes from README to NOTES.
Add URLs for home, releases, bugs, git and mailinglist to README.

Make the --version output of all tools the same by using a common
print_version function and update the publicly shown copyright holder
to the elfutils developers.

-Fundamental design decision:
-
-- the sizes of external and internal types are assumed to be the same.
-  This leaves byte ordering aside.  While assuming this the code can be
-  greatly simplified and speed increases.  Since no change violating this
-  assumption is in sight this is believed to be a worthwhile optimization.
-
-- the ABI of the backend modules is not guaranteed.  Really, no guarantee
-  whatsoever.  We are enforcing this in the code.  The modules and their
-  users must match.  No third-party EBL module are supported or allowed.
-  The only reason there are separate modules is to not have the code for
-  all architectures in all the binaries.
-
-- although the public libraries (libasm, libdw) have a stable API and are
-  backwards ABI compatible they, and the elfutils tools, do depend on each
-  others internals, and on internals of libelf to provide their interfaces.
-  So they should always be upgraded in lockstep when packaging the tools
-  and libraries separately. For one example of how to do that, see the
-  config/elfutils.spec.
