automake: do not require @setfilename in Texinfo files

Texinfo no longer requires a @setfilename directive in each
.texi file, so automake now also relaxes its restriction.
* bin/automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Derive name of info file from
name of input file if no @setfilename line occurs in the file.
* t/txinfo-no-setfilename.sh: New test.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
* NEWS: Mention it.

Fixes automake bugs #36921 and #34201.
