Backport commit 5254c582e from Emacs

* lisp/ox-texinfo.el: Remove redundant `:group` arguments.
Prefer #' to quote function names.
(org-texinfo-template): Use sane defaults for `@direntry`.

* doc/org.org (Texinfo specific export settings): Adjust accordingly.

ox-texinfo:: Require only TEXINFO_DIR_CATEGORY
