Once all the still-valid content from the texinfo documentation has been
imported into the reST format (#7407), the texinfo documents should be
removed from the repository.

Remove bug-report.texinfo

It is unused; send-pr.texinfo supercedes it at the moment anyway.

Disconnect texinfo install guide from the build

Its content has been migrated to or superseded by the RST documentation,
split amongst krb_build and various sections of krb_admins.

A few portions of the texinfo document are simply no longer relevant
and do not need to be migrated. In particular:
It's 2012; we don't need to specify that we require a C89 compiler.
It's 2012; it will be easy to get enough disk to build krb5.
The KADM5 tests are part of 'make check' and don't need separate
documentation.
Shared library support is not limited to "a few operating systems".
We do not need to document incompatibilities with ancient/dead OSes.
kadmind4 and v5passwdd are no longer relevant.

Remove unused texinfo sources

Now that the install guide make rules are removed, nothing references
build.texinfo or install.texinfo any more (other than the tgz target,
which is updated accordingly).

Disconnect the texinfo admin guide from the build

Its content has been migrated to or superseded by the reST documentation,
essentially entirely in krb_admins.

A few portions of the texinfo document are simply no longer relevant
and do not need to be migrated. In particular:
Information about reporting bugs lives on k5wiki.kerberos.org.
General Kerberos concepts/introduction will be elsewhere in the tree.
We do not need to document the time zones accepted by kadmin.
We do not need a table of the various error codes and strings in our
formal documentation.
A complete description of the layout of our source tree is not useful
or relevant to most Kerberos administrators.

Remove unused texinfo sources

Now that the admin guide make rules are removed, quite a few of the
texinfo sources are not referenced from anywhere and can be safely
removed.

Disconnect the texinfo users guide from the build

Its content has been migrated to or superseded by the krb_users
reST documentation.

The texinfo document attempted to have a general introduction to
Kerberos, but it is not quite suitable for the target audience
of the user's guide and will be rewritten.

A few portions of the texinfo document are simply no longer relevant
and do not need to be migrated. In particular:
The krb5-appl utilities are out of scope for this document, as they
have been moved to a separate repository. Coverage of ksu may be
brought back at a later time, though.
The Kerberos Glossary will be expanded and handled separately.

It is sufficiently old and unloved that nothing in it should be

Remove the last vestiges of the texinfo docs

We needed these last stragglers to build the NOTICE file at the
root of the tree, but we now generate a notice.txt from reST.

Man pages have been generated from reST for some time now, we no
longer need scripts to turn them into HTML and ps, as those can
be generated directly from the reST source.

The Makefile only existed to serve the texinfo builds, so it goes
away, too. (The tgz target appears to have been broken since 1996.)

Remove stale implement document

As with the texinfo implementor's guide, it is sufficiently stale
so as to be untrustworthy without verification.
Content of this nature should live on k5wiki.kerberos.org.
