Subject: bug#56609: [PATCH] Derive `Info-mode' from `special-mode'

Attached patch:

     Derive `Info-mode' from `special-mode'
     
     * lisp/info.el (Info-mode): Derive `Info-mode' from `special-mode'.
     This makes it easier to exclude it from globalized minor modes that
     don't apply to special modes (such as `global-whitespace-mode' and
     `global-display-fill-column-indicator-mode').
