It seemed to me that @setfilename in texi2any was actually a way to
have an output file name different from the input file name.  If this is
not really useful, we should simply ignore @setfilename in texi2any
rather than have a runtime warning.

We actually use @setfilename in the test suite to be able to set a file
name for a Texinfo string read from a source file and not from an actual
file.  But there are other ways to specify the file name.
