PATCH v4 1/1 gdb: prevent building the documentation

Force gdb to not build the documentation. This way we avoid depending on host-texinfo. This is a temporary fix until upstream accepts a proposed --disable-docs configure option.

Since the documentation will not be build at all, we can remove the parts related to host-texinfo and MAKEINFO in the gdb.mk file.

Fixes:

---
Changes v3 -> v4:
- Use a pre-configure-hook instead of post-patch-hook as the last one is not called in the OVERRIDE_SRCDIR case (Arnout Vandecappelle)
Changes v2 -> v3:
- Use the post-patch-hook also for host-gdb (Brendan Heading)
- Remove unnecessary GDB_FROM_GIT (Romain Naour)
Changes v1 -> v2:
- Indent the sed command
- Use a post-patch-hook instead of pre-configure-hook
- Remove the parts related to host-texinfo and MAKEINFO
- Ammend the commit log to be more appropriate

I will have a look.

Romain, how is going the upstream request about the --disable-docs option?

Romain, how is going the upstream request about the --disable-docs option?

The patch I submitted upstream is not complete since we need to disable the documentation for bfd and gprof.

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-09/msg00073.html

Maybe the easiest solution is to make sure that the missing script return 0 instead of the error code... thoughts ?

Romain
