    gcc/Makefile.in: Always check info dependencies
    
    BUILD_INFO is currently a byproduct of checking makeinfo
    presence/version.  INSTALL_INFO used to be defined similarly, but was
    removed in 2000 (!) by commit 17db658241d18cf6db59d31bc2d6eac96e9257df
    (svn r38141).
    
    In order to save build time, our CI overrides MAKEINFO=echo, which
    works when invoking 'make all' but not for 'make install' in case some
    info files need an update.
    
    I noticed this while testing a patch posted on the gcc-patches list,
    leading to an error at 'make install' time after updating tm.texi (the
    build reported 'new text' in tm.texi and stopped).  This is because
    'install' depends on 'install-info', which depends on
    $(DESTDIR)$(infodir)/gccint.info (among others).
    
    As discussed, it is better to detect this problem during 'make all'
    rather than 'make install', and we still want to detect it even if
    makeinfo is not available.
    
    This patch makes configure set BUILD_INFO=no-info in case makeinfo is
    missing/too old, which effectively makes the build rules no-ops
    (x$(BUILD_INFO) != xinfo), and updates Makefile.in so that 'info'
    dependencies are still checked.

            * Makefile.in: Add no-info dependency.
            * configure.ac: Set BUILD_INFO=no-info if makeinfo is not
            available.
            * configure: Regenerate.
