[Patch, doc] Mention testing on a simulatro in install.texi


I was searching for information about configuring the gdb simulator for testing a cross-compiler and had quite a difficult time finding the proper document.

This patch adds a link to http://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html to install.texi. I hope this will make it easier for the next person.

Tested with make info and make html.

OK to commit?
