makeinfo needs better handling of long @chapter, @section lines, etc.

I have plenty of these. Here is an example:

@chapter A letter from Per@'uvian Congressman Edgar David Villanueva address@hidden to Juan Alberto Gonz@'alez, General Manager of Microsoft Per@'u

(no word wrap in the original)

TeX handles this surprisingly well. However, I get this in Info:

A letter from Peru'vian Congressman Edgar David Villanueva Nun~ez to Juan Alberto Gonza'lez, General Manager of Microsoft Peru'
*******************************************************************************************************************************

(no word wrap in text) Regardless of how correct this is, it is silly. And makeinfo seems to produce the correct result of "@'u" later in the document, and I'm sure that "@'a" wouldn't be much trouble either.

So I ask that these lines be wrapped in info just like text, and the length of the *** line be limited to whatever the wrapping margin is set to.
