This reverts commit 8bb23cdbb498ff645bb0937bc8c0cb89e9e5ebd8.
My earlier patch to simplifify the @node uses in the BFD manual didn't
take into account (1) that BFD doesn't use the ordinary texinfo
sectioning commands, and (2) that some users are stuck on very ancient
versions of makeinfo.
This patch reverts the change.
I went through the entire manual using the spacebar, trying to find
the original problem I reported in the change, but couldn't. I don't
know why. Anyway, all this means is that, with this reversion,
editing the node structure will be slightly less convenient.

While paging through the BFD manual, I noticed that the "Internals"
node is completely empty. This patch removes it.
