doc/solaris-versions update

I installed this.  The only part that might be iffy is the copyright
notice, but we have to have _some_ copyright notice or otherwise the
file isn't free, and the GFDL without any required texts seems most
appropriate.

Come to think of it, there are several other gnulib files where the
copyright notices are missing or wrong.  I'll take a look at this
next.

        * doc/solaris-versions: Add SunOS 5.10, SunOS 1.x, SunOS 4.0, SunOS
        4.0.x, SunOS 4.1.1.1, SunOS 4.1.1_U1, SunOS 4.1.3B.  SunOS 4.1.3
        was Solaris 1.1A.  Remove space before B in Solaris 1.1.1B.
        Mention SunOS 5.11.  Mention that everything before SunOS 5.7
        is now obsolete, and give a pointer to the Sun list.
        Add copyright notice.
