This means that reading the Info manuals will always load goto-addr.el.
Maybe this is not a bad thing and even it would possible to call
`goto-address' on the Info buffer, and change Info-next-reference and
Info-prev-reference to also find overlays put by `goto-address'.

OTOH, `goto-address-url-regexp' is a regexp composed just from
the list `thing-at-point-uri-schemes'.  So maybe it would be enough
to load thingatpt.el and nothing more, and create a similar regexp
from `thing-at-point-uri-schemes' in info.el.
