[rfa/doc/branch too] Texinfo problems

While building Debian gdb packages, I ran into two problems. One is, I
think, a problem in Debian's tools rather than gdb; the line:

@dircategory Programming & development tools.

gets munged. I assume & is a legal character here? I don't know much about
texinfo. In any case, Debian happens to use Development, so I'll just
override that.

What's more annoying is this:

install-info --quiet --section 'Programming #SECTION# development tools.'
'Programming #SECTION# development tools.' /usr/share/info/gdbint.info
install-info: warning, ignoring confusing INFO-DIR-ENTRY in file.

I think the patch below is correct. OK to commit, trunk and branch?
