Add NEWS.unknown file to correct versions of introduction

Browse source 
It is not intended for the human reader, but to give less wrong versions
of first appearance displayed by `describe-function` or
`describe-variable` that would otherwise be derived from a notice in a
more recent NEWS* file.

It is better to add items to this file than changing historical NEWS*
files when the actual version of introduction is not known.

* etc/NEWS.unknown: New file.  Add entry for `nthcdr`.

This file contains mentions of functions and variables whose
version of introduction would otherwise be guessed incorrectly
by M-x describe-function.
Since much of early Emacs source history is lost, these versions are
conservative estimates: the actual version of first appearance may very
well be much earlier.
* Changes in Emacs 13.8
This may be the earliest surviving version with source code, although
damaged. See
