    ‘make check-declare’ now chatters less

    * etc/NEWS: Document this.
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/check-declare.el (check-declare-locate):
    Return relative names, not absolute.
    (check-declare-scan, check-declare-verify, check-declare-warn)
    (check-declare-file, check-declare-directory):
    Generate less chatter.  Use relative file names rather than
    absolute.  Don’t give up on computing a good file name for a
    diagnostic merely because the function name was bad.  Make
    malformed declarations more noticeable.  Don’t warn about
    "ext:..." declarations if check-declare-ext-errors is nil.
    (check-declare-errmsg): Remove.
    (check-declare-warn): New optional arg LINE.
    (check-declare-files): Put status into mode line rather than
    chattering.
