Fix README-* files
README-alpha is for alpha releases, which are not from Git or CVS, so omit mention of that. I'm not sure we'll ever do alpha releases, but if we do, README-alpha assumes the tarballs are already bit. Update README-hacking with info that was mistakenly put into README-alpha. Also mention Bison, needed for parse-date.y.
