Summary description: Plain TeX macros for TUGboat

Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

An update to the tugboat-plain package, for TUGboat articles using
plain TeX, now v1.33 2026-09-12. Notable changes:

- formatting of footnotes changed to match the TUGboat LaTeX style
(ltugboat.sty), including switching the font to \eightpoint.

- footnotes now support automatic numbering, if the first argument to
\footnote is empty.

- new macro \titleref to typeset a book (etc.) title.

- \abovecaptionskipamount, \normallineskip, \Thanh updated to match ltugboat.

- incorporate the tugboat.cmn file into tugboat.sty, so there is only
one implementation file. (The original purpose of tugboat.cmn was to be
shared between the plain and LaTeX tugboat styles, but that never worked out.)
