Description of changes

The eminent Donald E. Knuth should be recognized as having equal standing with such entities as IBM, Apple, and the Personal Computer. We should acknowledge this by including him as a "vendor".

Also, gnu-config recognizes mmix-knuth-* triples (and in fact requires vendor="knuth" when cpu="mmix") -- so we sort of have to. But we should do it anyways.

Part of #235230

Things done

The eminent Donald E. Knuth should be recognized as having equal
standing with such entities as IBM, Apple, and the Personal
Computer.  We should acknowledge this by including him as a "vendor".

Also, `gnu-config` recognizes `mmix-knuth-*` triples (and in fact
requires `vendor="knuth"` when `cpu="mmix"`) -- so we sort of have
to.  But we should do it anyways.
