Make configure warn CVS repo is dead?

Make configure warn CVS repo is dead?

[Glenn Morris]

When the emacs-unicode-2 branch was abandoned, a warning was added to
configure on that branch to help people know they should switch to the
trunk:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/configure?root=emacs&r1=1.119.2.68&r2=1.119.2.69&pathrev=emacs-unicode-2

It might be an idea to add something similar to configure in the CVS
repository, telling people to use bzr now, since I doubt anyone is
going to maintain a CVS mirror of the bzr repo.

Of course, it's not easy to do this since CVS is read-only now.

It'd be a smaller download, even if it wasn't writable and didn't have
history logs.  But is there another vcs mirror already with that?

(The EmacsFromCVS on the wiki could be updated according to whatever is
now true or recommended ...)

Done.
