[Patch] `info-other-window' does not support same arguments as `info'

The doc string of `info-other-window' says it's the same as `info' but
`info' provides a feature that is not supported by
`info-other-window', namely the numeric prefix argument:

(defun info (&optional file-or-node buffer)
 "[...]
A numeric prefix argument selects an Info buffer with the prefix number
appended to the Info buffer name."

(defun info-other-window (&optional file-or-node)
  "Like `info' but show the Info buffer in another window."

Indeed, the `buffer' optional parameter is present in `info' but not
in the other.

I propose the attached trivial patch to resolve the situation.
