Patch to remove more obsolete docs from install-old.texi


This patch - both mainline and branch versions below - removes more
obsolete documentation from the old install manual.  Tested with "make
info" and "make dvi"; applied to mainline and branch.  (Now the old 
install manual is identical on mainline and branch again.)

*NOTE*: this essentially finishes the easy moving and removing of install 
documentation that I can do.  Experts are needed for at least the 
following:

* Documentation of building cross compilers.

* Documentation of --with-gnu-as and --with-gnu-ld (to ensure the details 
of the effects, and the list of affected targets, are all in the new 
manual and up to date).

* Documentation of --with-stabs (again to ensure the details are complete 
and accurate for all targets).

* Documentation of VMS installation.  Could the people working on VMS 
support remove now from the old manual all information that is not going 
to be relevant to whatever new VMS install procedures are provided?  
Similarly, if any of the information in gcc.texi about using GCC on VMS is 
going to be obsolete or inaccurate, could you update it?
