[wwwdocs] Add D language to news, frontends, release notes, and readings.

Hi,

As suggested, this adds an announcement of the D front end addition to
the news items on the GCC home page, and from what I can tell, the
relevant pages where the language should get a mention.

Kept the release notes brief for now, will expand later.  Is this OK?

Thanks,
Iain

I noticed this hasn't gone in; apologies for missing it.  (You are
welcome, though should not have to, copy me on wwwdocs changes, which
usually helps a bit, though also others can approve those.)

Yes, just a minor nit:

Index: htdocs/gcc-9/changes.html
===================================================================
+<h3 id="d">D</h3>
+<ul>
+  <li>Support for the D programming language has been added to GCC,
+    implementing version 2.076 of the language and runtime library.  

"run-time library" here, per codingconventions.html .

Thanks,
Gerald

Hi Gerald,

OK, thanks I'll do that.

I assume that the notes on the about.html page are all that are needed
to commit and push?

Yes, they *should*.

If you run into anything that's missing or have any questions,
just let me know and I'll (a) help directly and (b) see how to
improve the docs.

No worries, this is just a "never used cvs before" question.  So beg
my pardon if I approach it with extreme caution.

After pushing, it was noticed that there was a small misspelling that
went unnoticed.  I've committed the correction as I don't think
there'll be any objection to the change.

Indeed.  Obvious changes and ones within your domain (so release
notes for D,...) are good to go any time - and in fact appreciated. :-)
