Patch to remove links to old install chapter from manual


To get rid of the old installation manual, links to it need to go
away.  This patch removes some outside links to it from the GCC
manual.  (With this patch, removing the include of install-old.texi
and its menu entry leaves a working manual - but the contents of
install-old.texi still need updating and merging into the current
install manual first.)

It passes "make info" and "make dvi".  OK to commit?

	* doc/fragments.texi, doc/trouble.texi: Remove links to old
	installation chapter.
	* doc/gcc.texi: Don't claim that this manual documents
	installation.  Make Installation menu entry as being out of date.
