Fix doc quoting problems with Texinfo 5
Without this change, in the info file output, Texinfo 5 quotes code in text with undirected single quotes 'like this' and generates code examples that with many PDF readers cannot be cut out of PDFs and pasted into code. * manual/libc.texinfo: Configure the libc manual like the GNU Emacs manual, by using @documentencoding and setting txicodequoteundirected and txicodequotebacktick. This way, Texinfo 5 quotes code in text with directed single quotes ‘like this’ and produces examples that can be cut out of PDFs. This change causes Texinfo 5 to generate info files that contain UTF-8 characters in the set {'‘', '’', '“', '”', 'Ä', 'ä', 'ö', '−', '–', '—', '©', '⇒', '•', '…'}, which is OK nowadays.
