Changes.old: 6.04: Document the addition of `make check`

This caused trouble to the Debian packaging, since it runs `make check`
if the package supports it, and since we have a few pages that trigger
errors there, the packaging failed to work for 6.04.

Document the workaround.

    -  Support installing compressed pages (Z='.gz').
    -  Support installing link pages as symlinks (LINK_PAGES='symlink').
+   -  Add make(1) 'check' target.  This has been split from 'lint'.
+      'lint' will check the source code, and 'check' will check the
+      rendered pages (as a user will read them).  There are currently
+      several pages that fail this `make check`, and distributors that
+      depend on this can workaround it by touching a few files:
