Let makeinfo figure them out, as is recommended.

Frankly, I think the edition conveys little to no information.
The version number of Emacs is much more relevant.
No-one seems to know what the rules are for updating the edition anyway...

* doc/emacs/emacs.texi (@copying): Only print EDITION in the TeX version.

* doc/lispref/elisp.texi (@copying):
* doc/lispref/intro.texi (Introduction): Only print VERSION in the TeX version.

This seems only fair, since there have been a large number of
contributors since the original ones.

* doc/emacs/emacs.texi:
* doc/lispref/book-spine.texi, doc/lispref/elisp.texi, doc/lispref/vol1.texi:
* doc/lispref/vol2.texi:
Add "et al." to authors.

All callers changed.

* doc/emacs/mule.texi (International): Copyedits.
(International Chars): Update C-x = example output.
(Disabling Multibyte): Rename from "Enabling Multibyte".
Clarify what "unibyte: t" does, and mode-line description.

Use Texinfo recommended convention for quotes+punctuation.

* doc/emacs/custom.texi (Specifying File Variables):
Fix "unibyte" description.
Update for "Disabling Multibyte" node name change.

* doc/emacs/emacs.texi: Update for "Disabling Multibyte" node name change.

* doc/lispref/loading.texi (Loading Non-ASCII):
"unibyte:" can also be at the end.

* lisp/international/mule.el (set-auto-coding-for-load): Doc fix.

This is already used in most places. ``...'' does not get specially
converted by texinfo in @menu descriptions.

* doc/emacs/emacs.texi, doc/emacs/help.texi, doc/emacs/text.texi:
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi, doc/lispref/vol1.texi, doc/lispref/vol2.texi:
* doc/misc/sem-user.texi, doc/misc/url.texi, doc/misc/woman.texi:
Use "" quotes in menus.

Eg it looks better in html output, where it gets converted to italic.

* doc/emacs/dired.texi, doc/emacs/emacs.texi:
* doc/misc/cl.texi: Use @code{} in menus when appropriate, rather than `'.
