    remove "experimental" warnings
    
    Sadly enough, AFAIK, there were never answers to the "More user
    feedback will help to stabilize it" sentences.  Remove them.
    
    * src/getargs.c: IELR, canonical LR and XML output are here to stay,
    and they are no more experimental than some other features.
    * doc/bison.texi: Likewise.
    Also remove "experimental" warning for Java, LAC, LR tuning options,
    and named references.
