doc: Change DTD declaration everywhere to docbook xml 4.3, and remove the 4.4 stuff from the catalog, too. Unclear why years ago parts were declared as 4.4 all of a sudden, and later the catalog tweaks were introduced. We never intentionally used anything newer than 4.3, and everything validates correctly.
