Hiding *Note:: "tags" in info files

[Kim F. Storm]

When I browse info files in emacs, I find all those visible 
*Note ... :: "tags" pretty annoying, given that the references
are already displayed in the info-xref face.

The following patch hides those superfluous decorations.

The result isn't perfect, since the wording around some of the nodes
become a bit sparse, e.g. (upper case indicates highlighting)

   *Note GETTING A PRINTED MANUAL::, if you would like a paper copy of
the Emacs manual.

(which isn't perfect English either) becomes

   GETTING A PRINTED MANUAL, if you would like a paper copy of
the Emacs manual.


But personally I don't think that is worse than the *Note stuff.

WDYT?
