[Buildroot] [PATCHv2] gdb: prevent building the documentation

Force gdb to not build the documentation. This way we avoid depending on
host-texinfo. This is a temporary fix until upstream accepts a proposed
--disable-docs configure option.

Since the documentation will not be build at all, we can remove the
parts related to host-texinfo and MAKEINFO in the gdb.mk file.

Fixes:
