[RFA] top level configure and makeinfo/texinfo

Texinfo is up to version 4.11, I believe (at least).
When somebody gets around to running gdb's top level
configure with this, it's going to fail due to a
regular expression that won't recognize a minor
version number greater than 9.

Not sure who should approve this...

And yes, I realize that there are 3 or 4 other configure
scripts to which this also applies.

* configure.ac (makeinfo version number): Allow for texinfo versions
between 4.10 and 4.99.
* configure: Regenerate.
