Log Message:
Introduce a new framework to handle info files, install-info and
makeinfo commands.

The goal of the new framework is twofold:
        - reduce the number of '@exec' and '@unexec' in PLIST by
using INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts to handle entries addition/removal
Info directory file.
        - achieve lighter dependencies by avoiding unnecessary run-time
dependency on the gtexinfo package and if needed with the help of the
standalone install-info command provided by the recently imported package
pkgtools/pkg_install-info.

A package must be sightly updated to use this new framework and
must define the variable USE_NEW_TEXINFO. This variable will
be removed from the pkgsrc tree when all package would have been
updated.

For details see section 10.24 of Packages.txt, comments in
mk/{texinfo.mk,buildlink2/bsd.buildlink2.mk} and upcoming mail to
<tech-pkg at netbsd dot org>.
