    Support building without makeinfo(1) installed.
    
    * m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_PROG_MAKEINFO): Simplify logic to not throw error
      if "groff.info" is older than "groff.texi"; that is now an accepted
      state of affairs during configuration.  (make(1) could fail later,
      though.)  Set new variable `groff_have_makeinfo`.
    
      (GROFF_MAKEINFO_PROGRAM_NOTICE): New macro warns user of the
      consequences of not having (a recent enough) makeinfo(1) installed.
    
    * configure.ac: Set Automake conditional `HAVE_MAKEINFO` if the
      corresponding new shell variable was assigned by
      `GROFF_PROG_MAKEINFO`.  Report in configuration summary whether the
      Info, plain text, and HTML forms of groff's Texinfo manual can be
      generated.  Call `GROFF_MAKEINFO_PROGRAM_NOTICE` macro.
    
    * doc/doc.am: Indirect the file names of the Info, plain text, and HTML
      forms of groff's Texinfo manual through new make(1) macros,
      `GROFF_INFO`, `GROFF_TXT`, and `GROFF_HTML`.  Assign them only if
      `HAVE_MAKEINFO` is true.
    
      (all): Expand the new macros in place of literals.
