[SIMPLE PATCH] {maint} Make HACKING visible to the end user (was: Mentioning HACKING in ChangeLog)

[Stefano Lattarini]

Since I see no reason forcing us to keep the HACKING file "invisible"
to the end user (not in ChangeLog, not in distributed tarball, ...),
I've gone ahead and written a very simple patch to mke it "visible".
OK for maint?

Regards,
  Stefano

Subject: [PATCH] Make HACKING visible to the end user.

* HACKING: It's ok to mention it in the ChangeLog and to put
in the distribution tarball.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add `HACKING'.
