Minor NEWS cleanup, mainly for "Installation Changes" section.

* etc/NEWS: Reorder items.
Standardize new --with-libfoo type configure options.
Don't say precisely which library versions are needed - it tends to
change and people who care can look at configure.
Move new Hebrew tutorial entry to "Internationalization changes" section.
Small tidy up for imagemagick and gnutls entries.

* src/gnutls.c (syms_of_gnutls): More doc (from etc/NEWS).
