[PATCH] libctf: update regexp to allow makeinfo to build document

While trying to build gdb on latest openSUSE Tumbleweed, I noticed the
following warning,

 checking for makeinfo... makeinfo --split-size=5000000
 configure: WARNING:
 *** Makeinfo is too old. Info documentation will not be built.

then I checked the version of makeinfo, it said,
======
$ makeinfo --version
texi2any (GNU texinfo) 7.0.1

======

After digging a little bit, it became quite obvious that a dot is
missing in regexp that makes it impossible to match versions higher than
7.0.

libctf/ChangeLog:

	* configure: Regenerated.
	* configure.ac: Update regexp to match versions higher than 7.0.
