remove Makefile target install-info-debian, modify install-info to be compatible

Browse source 
* Makefile: remove target install-info-debian and modify target
  install-info so that it is compatible with the older dpkg version
  of install-info that resides in /usr/sbin and may be picked up
  when root is installing info files

Initial reporting by Jude DaShiell, suggestions for changing Makefile
by Nick Dokos.  The solution implemented re-arranges the arguments to
install-info to be compatible with both the dpkg and GNU version of
the program.  On Debian, /usr/bin/install-info is actually a wrapper
that calls /usr/bin/ginstall-info and issues the following warning
when called as root:

This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info
See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments

This warning can be safely ignored since we actually prefer that GNU
install-info is called even though we've arranged the arguments to
be compatible with dpkg install-info.

Tested on openSuSE Tumbleweed, Win7/Pro (both MSys and Cygwin) and by
Jude DaShiell on Debian Squeeze and Slackware.

Installing Info files is system dependent, because of differences in the
@file{install-info} program. In Debian it copies the info files into the
correct directory and modifies the info directory file. In many other
systems, the files need to be copied to the correct directory separately, and
@file{install-info} then only modifies the directory file. Check your system
documentation to find out which of the following commands you need:
@file{install-info} program. The following should correctly install the Info
files on most systems, please send a bug report if not@footnote{The output
from install-info (if any) is also system dependent. In particular Debian
and it's derivatives use two different versions of install-info and you may
see the message:

See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments
