Merge branch 'dev' into bmk/inets/ftp/missing_spec_causes_dialyxer_problems/OTP-9114

Also fixed a bunch of "end-years" (was 2010 but should have been 2011,
which the commit hook not happy with).

+	    <p> It is now possible to use Erlang specifications and
+	    types in EDoc documentation. Erlang specifications and
+	    types will be used unless there is also a function
+	    specification (<c>@spec</c>) or a type alias
+	    (<c>@type</c>) with the same name. In the current
+	    implementation the placement of <c>-spec</c> matters: it
+	    should be placed where the <c>@spec</c> would otherwise
+	    have been placed. </p>
+	    <p>Not all Erlang types are included in the
+	    documentation, but only those exported by some
+	    <c>export_type</c> declaration or used by some documented
+	    Erlang specification (<c>-spec</c>). </p>
+	    <p> There is currently no support for overloaded Erlang
+	    specifications. </p>
+	    <p> The syntax definitions of EDoc have been augmented to
+	    cope with most of the Erlang types. (But we recommend
+	    that Erlang types should be used instead.) </p>
+	    <p> <c>edoc:read_source()</c> takes one new option,
+	    <c>report_missing_types</c>. <c>edoc_layout:module()</c>
+	    takes one new option, <c>pretty_printer</c>. </p>

+	    <p> The <c>edoc_lib</c> module is meant to be private,
+	    but since it is referred to from other man pages it has
+	    been included in the OTP documentation. The modifications
+	    introduced in this ticket make all functions private
+	    except those referred to from other pages. </p>
