Subject: [PATCH] doc: minor grammar change about a change in the past

In the description of -name patterns matching "hidden" files, i.e.,
those beginning with a dot, avoid talking in the future.
The change was back in version 4.2.2.
Maybe we should drop this hint about historic behavior at all.

* doc/find.texi (Base Name Patterns): Remove the word "will".
* find/find.1 (.SH STANDARDS CONFORMANCE): Likewise.
(.SH HISTORY): Likewise.
