Advance the minimum required version of "flex" from 2.5.4 to 2.5.31, and
update documentation accordingly. This is required in order to have support for a reentrant scanner. I'm committing this bit separately in order to have an easy reference if we later decide to make the minimum something different (like 2.5.33).
