[hacknews] crabs

The "modify" module of crabs(1) has been updated to provide the option of
turning off the automatic numbering of references (useful if one wants to
enter one's own numbers).  To access this option, the environment variable
"AUTONUM" should be set to "no".

While I was at it, I cleaned up the code in "modify", the result being easier
to read and somewhat more efficient.

Crabs has been updated to eliminate several special utilities whose
function can be achieved with standard facilities.  There should be
no external evidence, other than small speedups in a few places.
