doc: give credit to more of Bison's developers.

* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Don't imply that only Robert
Corbett, Richard Stallman, and Wilfred Hansen have contributed to
Bison.  However, I don't have time to write a full history, so
just point readers to THANKS and ChangeLog.

+Bison was written originally by Robert Corbett.  Richard Stallman made
+it Yacc-compatible.  Wilfred Hansen of Carnegie Mellon University
+added multi-character string literals and other features.  Since then,
+Bison has grown more robust and evolved many other new features thanks
+to the hard work of a long list of volunteers.  For details, see the
