[PATCH] Fix building gdb release from tar file without makeinfo

Hi,

this enables gdb to be built from the release tar ball, without installing makeinfo.

The problem is, the gdb.info is already built, but the temp files GDBvn.texi and
version.subst are not in the tar file.  So they are generated, but now the
makeinfo step fails if it is not installed.  Fix this by deleting GDBvn.texi and
version.subst only in the maintainer-clean target.

Tested with ./src-release -g gdb & build on a fresh installation.


Thanks
Bernd.
