make distclean cleans ChangeLog

Description

make distclean cleans (deletes) ChangeLog? - Makefile.am says "DISTCLEANFILES = ChangeLog? libusb-1.0.pc".

I don't know what the intent of that is, but 'make distclean' should return a tree to the same state as it is distributed, and ChangeLog? is distributed (at least it is in the 1.0.8 tarball).

This has been fixed in the -stuge/testing staging git repository.

We may also want to add:

MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = ChangeLog?

in the main Makfile.am so that a 'make maintainer-clean' will balance the 'make ChangeLog?' issued by the maintainers. As per [1]: "If the maintainer built it (for instance, a .info file), then maintainer-clean should delete it."
