nixos: generate infodirs directly in system-path
`man 1 info` says: The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH. If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to the initial node visited. Which means that this does what previous programs/info did and #8519 (on-the-fly infodir generation for Emacs) wanted to do, but for both programs.
