Date Facets from 2004 and tell its origin story

Facets took its name in version 0.5.0 on 2004-12-23 (see
work/HISTORY-0.rdoc), and the old .index metadata recorded 2004-12-16;
1.0 followed in December 2005. The README, site and LICENSE said 2005.
They now say 2004.

The news page's archive section gains the short origin story from
work/HISTORY-0.rdoc: TomsLib (2002), Succ (2003), A.B.C. and Raspberry
(2004), then Ruby Facets (December 2004). The README and the contribute
page mention the 2002 roots in a phrase.

Also from the #337 review:
- docs/build.rb sets UTF-8 as the default external encoding, so it no
  longer crashes outside a UTF-8 locale.
- news.html links the 2.4 release post, which was built but not linked.

 **More of Ruby, one method at a time.** Facets is a collection of extensions to Ruby's core classes and standard library, plus a few small, reusable classes and modules. Most methods live in their own files, so you can load one extension, a class's extensions, or the core collection.
