readability improvements for the formatted output, some LICENSES updates
including the addition of the ISC license, the removal of the unloved and
unmaintained 00-INDEX files, the deprecated APIs document from Kees, more
MM docs from Mike Rapoport, and the usual pile of typo fixes and
corrections.

To prevent dynamic completion objects from being de-allocated while still
in use, add a recommendation to embed them in long lived data structures.
Also add a note for the on-stack case that emphasizes the dangers of
the limited scope, and recommends dynamic allocation if scope limitations
are not clearly understood.
[ mingo: Minor touch-ups of the text, expanded it a bit to make the
warnings Nicholas added more prominent. ]

more correct and readable.
Also missing "()" are added to some function references for consistency.

Per the original author, the proposed document was never deemed
necessary, and the important bits got merged into completion.txt. Let's
just stop confusing readers by pointing at a nonexistent doc.

Mostly language improvements to the new completions.txt document, but there
is also a semantic correction in the description of completion_done() at
the very end.
