Stop partial menu generation in INSTALL file
...
The commit d136c6dc
resulted in menu text for the "Top" node being added
to the INSTALL file on regeneration. As the full menu is not displayed
in the plain text file anyway, suppress the menu section completely to
avoid the additional text.
Also regenerate the INSTALL file to commit a small formatting change
introduced in the same commit.

Update pt_chown sections of the manual
...
The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section
without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this
and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring
and compiling" section.

CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755 : Disable pt_chown.
...
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another
user's pseudo-terminal.
Pre-conditions for the attack:
* Attacker with local user account
* Kernel with FUSE support
* "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
* Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts
Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.
In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
risk.
