'Virtual' .ALL groups will never be present in
a checkgroups file, and we can't use them anyway
as they would contain postings from groups that
are filtered out by --checkgroups.
Add a warning, put a note in the documentation.

If --group-by is not set, output will be grouped
by month by default (as long as --boundary is
not set to 'level' or 'average', where grouping
by newsgroup is default).
Now we default to 'newsgroup' if just one newsgroup
is requested by --newsgroups, but more than one
month by --month.
Both defaults can be overridden.
But forced --group-by=month for --report type
'average' or 'sum' in front so defaults are
not checked.

Some documentation fixes and enhancments.
Improve INSTALL documentation.
README: Update copyright notice.
README: improve phrasing.
Change handling of warnings.
Improve output padding.
Check for invalid newsgroup names.
Add some basic validation to config parser.
Create better newsgroup lists for SQL clause.
Fix config path detection for install.pl.
Get empty 'virtual' hierarchies working.
Add some TODO entries.
Add database creation to installer.
Handle undefined previous version when installing.
Refactor database initialisation in feedlog.pl.
Add empty 'virtual' .ALL hierarchies as needed.
Change interpretation of --checkgroups to template
Be more fault-tolerant when reading checkgroups.
Remove call to &Bleat where not appropriate.
Allow more characters in TLH definitions.
...
Replace 'perl -W' by 'use warnings;'.
The latter is preferred, and '-W'
(instead of '-w') was causing problems with
warnings in DB::mysql::GetInfo.pm.

Commit b5125b1099
was broken.
We didn't add empty .ALL hierarchies as needed;
we added empty (non-existant) hierarchies without
appended '.ALL', and didn't add the original
empty group we started with.
(What's more, gatherstats didn't even start any
more due to missing ex- and import of
&ParseHierarchies from NewsStats.pm.)
Fixes#52 (and some more breakage).

* Move database initialisation to a separate function.
* (Re-)try to connect every five seconds
(instead of going into an endless loop) and
log successful (re-)connections.
* Log postings that are dropped due to database failures
to syslog (Message-ID) for recovery.
* If the connection to the database is lost, try to
recover it (every five seconds) and try again to
write the pending data.
* Input will be buffered automatically by INN until
feedlog is able to process it (see man 5 newsfeeds).

When using a --checkgroups file while tabulating,
valid but empty groups will be added with a posting
count of zero as needed. If all groups in a
sub-hierarchy are empty, the virtual '.ALL' group
for that sub-hierarchy was not created, though.
If local.test.dummy and local.test.binary were
both empty, both groups were added with a posting
count of '0', but local.test.ALL was not.
Now we loop through all hierarchy elements using
ParseHierarchies and add empty .ALL hierarchies as
needed.
Fixes#49.
Also fixing a typo in some comment. :-)

In most hierarchies, the list of valid newsgroups will
change over time, so you'll have to use another
checkgroups file for each month. gatherstats will now
understand the value of --checkgroups to be a template
and amend it with each month it is processing.
Documentation changed accordingly.

TLH may now also contain literal dots '.',
allowing for using second or third level
hierarchies as "TLH". To faciliate that,
'+' and '-' will be allowed, too.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Hochstein <thh@inter.net>
The TLH was checked to match the beginning
of the newsgroup name, not the whole TLH part.
So the TLH "de" would match not only "de.test",
but also "denver.test", which was not the
desired outcome.
