Emacs local vars at the tail of every file

Only in the docs.

And indeed I'd argue for taking those *out* of the docs files, and
adding them to the suggested emacs config-file hacking. A sufficient
reason why is that I doubt these settings are uniformly valid across
all emacs versions. We already know that the C-code indentation
settings have changed, and this sgml configuration is far more detailed
than those.

I delete them from every file I edit, but I haven't been interested
enough to remove them all. Feel free to do the legwork.
