toolchain/binutils: backport stable patches

Add the patches with real changes from the binutils 2.40 stable branch.
I am not aware that we ran into any of these problems, but I think it is
better to take the existing stable patches.

They were exported like this:
git format-patch binutils-2_40...origin/binutils-2_40-branch
I removed the patches changing the version numbers and updating the
translations only.

I removed the following patches:
 *Automatic-date-updat*
 001-Re-enable-development.-Update-version-to-2.40.0.patch
 004-Updated-translations-for-the-gas-and-binutils-sub-di.patch
 015-Updated-Swedish-translation-for-the-binutils-sub-dir.patch
 027-Updated-Swedish-translation-for-the-binutils-sub-dir.patch

+Subject: [PATCH 05/50] libctf: update regexp to allow makeinfo to build
+ document
+
+While trying to build gdb on latest openSUSE Tumbleweed, I noticed the
+following warning,
+
+ checking for makeinfo... makeinfo --split-size=5000000
+ configure: WARNING:
+ *** Makeinfo is too old. Info documentation will not be built.
+
+then I checked the version of makeinfo, it said,
+======
+$ makeinfo --version
+texi2any (GNU texinfo) 7.0.1
+
+Copyright (C) 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

+======
+
+After digging a little bit, it became quite obvious that a dot is
+missing in regexp that makes it impossible to match versions higher than
+7.0, and here's the solution:
+
+-       | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9][0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
++       | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9]\.[0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+
+However, Eli pointed out that the solution above has another problem: it
+will stop working when Texinfo 10.1 will be released.  Meanwhile, he
+suggested to solve this problem permanently.  That is, we don't care
+about the minor version for Texinfo > 6.9, we only care about the major
+version.
+
+In this way, the problem will be resolved permanently, thanks to Eli.
+
+libctf/ChangeLog:
+
+	* configure: Regenerated.
+	* configure.ac: Update regexp to match versions higher than 7.0.
