[Bug-gnupress] Typesetting the GNU GPL

Here is a patch to gcc/gcc/doc/include/gpl.texi to make it fit on an odd
number of pages.  We should feed this into GCC, and find out who
maintains the official copies on the GNU website.

        As well, their section "How to Apply These Terms to Your New
Programs" has the word "Appendix" in front of it.  This is not helpful
in keeping these all on the same page.  This modification seems to be
made _after_ June 1991, so someone must have changed it by accident.
Can someone follow-up?

        * doc/include/gpl.texi: Fix double-spacing after "MA" to match
        the one provided by the FSF.

        * doc/include/gpl.texi: Temporarily enlarge a page so that the
        "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" section fits on
        one page.
