Done and pushed; commit message amended to be:

    doc: mention prior stat change

    For a file of size 1234 bytes, commit ca9aa759 had the side effect
    of changing 'stat -c "%'s" file' from outputting "?s" to the nicer
    "1,234", depending on locale.  This is worth mentioning in the NEWS.

    Resolves part of http://bugs.gnu.org/14556.

    * NEWS: Mention 8.7 improvement in stat.
    * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Adjust accordingly.

As both this change and the web page change are now in, I'm also closing
out the bug.
