It's obsolete because it was renamed to TEXINFO_DIR_NAME because I don't
think it's right to think of it as a "title".

It could lose important information, in which case we wouldn't want to
discard it.  But here it just duplicates the default.

The Info file name is derived from the Texinfo filename.
