docs: relax the awk dependency from gawk to awk

Since #441 the script no longer uses any gawk-specific awk construct.
All of its awk expressions were checked against gawk, mawk, the One True
Awk and busybox awk, and run unmodified on all four.

Declaring gawk advertised a requirement that the script never enforced
and that most users could not satisfy anyway, since mawk is the default
awk on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives.

Refs #433, #441
