[rfa] gdb.texinfo: new release tarball commands

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain <mec at shout dot net>]

This patch updates gdbint.texinfo with the new instructions for making
a release tarball.  This is version #2 of this patch.

This time, I removed the whole section "Configuring @value{GDBN} for
Release".  Also, I added instructions for older versions of gdb which
do not have @file{src-release} (gdb 5.3.1 and older).

Note that more people than the release manager need this information.
I wrote this patch because I needed to know how snapshot tarballs were
made in order to debug a problem with testsuite/gdb.c++ files inside
the current snapshots.

Testing: I followed the instructions on gdb HEAD, gdb gdb_5_3-branch,
insight HEAD, insight gdb_5_3-banch, and dejagnu HEAD.  They worked.

OK to apply?
