[PATCH 3/5] xserver: Makefile.am: ChangeLog not required: EXTRA_DIST or *CLEANFILES #24432

[Gaetan Nadon]

This is a follow-up to bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24278.

It's important that the generated ChangeLog file has no easy way of being
removed as it cannot be regenerated from within a tarball as git is not
available. Just like files README or NEWS.

For example, 
EXTRA_DIST += ChangeLog
or
CLEANFILES = ChangeLog
or
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = ChangeLog

There are over 200 components in that situation.

ChangeLog filename is known to Automake and requires no further
coding in the makefile.
