doc: improve.

* RELNOTES: Fix minor issues.

* txr.1: Fix various grammatical errors, typos and other issues.
Notably, use en dashes rather than hyphens for ranges of numbers;
replace "exponential notation" with "E notation", which is more commonly
used (according to Wikipedia; see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation#E_notation); clarify
that with-stream is better than with-resources for opening exactly one
stream; and use past tense in the Compatibility Version Values section.

     - leading dot is not a suffix delimiter: e.g. .bashrc is not a suffix.
     - trailing path separators ignored, like in base-name.
   - regex: optimization function exposed.
   - constantp function now recognizes more kinds of expressions:
-    - (+ 1 (* 3 4)) are constantp as is (symacrolet ((a (+ 2 2))) (* b 3)).

       value for the stream argument as a missing argument.
