[Bug: 21.4.12] info command should support node name

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! XEmacs doesn't allow to eval expressions like (info "(texinfo)itemx") that are often given as hints in newsgroups using `C-x C-e' (after the closing brace) because the argument of `info' must be a filename only: ,----[ C-h f info RET in XEmacs ] | `info' is an interactive compiled Lisp function | -- loaded from "info" | (info &optional FILE) | | Documentation: | Enter Info, the documentation browser. | Optional argument FILE specifies the file to examine; | the default is the top-level directory of Info. | | In interactive use, a prefix argument directs this command | to read a file name from the minibuffer. `---- GNU Emacs' `info' command supports both, filename and node name: ,----[ C-h f info RET in Emacs ] | info is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `info'. | (info &optional FILE) | | Enter Info, the documentation browser. | Optional argument FILE specifies the file to examine; | the default is the top-level directory of Info. | Called from a program, FILE may specify an Info node of the form | `(FILENAME)NODENAME'. | | In interactive use, a prefix argument directs this command | to read a file name from the minibuffer. | | The search path for Info files is in the variable `Info-directory-list'. | The top-level Info directory is made by combining all the files named `dir' | in all the directories in that path. `---- Please don't say that everybody should write `Info-goto-node' instead. It's clearly preferable to write (info "(texinfo)itemx") instead of (Info-goto-node "(texinfo)itemx").
