Markus Armbruster 4ea4a01fd5 (info, html): Implement.
(all): Depend on info.

Flatten info directory.  This undoes the move to one subdirectory per
chapter, which was done during Empire 2.  The structure doesn't buy us
much, as the info name space is flat, and it complicates makefiles.

Overhaul info.pl:
- It now wants to run in the root of the build tree.
- Information on source files and subjects is now stored in makefiles,
  thus info.pl no longer picks up random junk from the file system.
- Clean up Perl anachronisms, in particular use subroutine arguments and
  results rather than global variables where convenient.
- Change format of diagnostics to the common format used by GNU tools,
  so that Emacs and the like can parse it.
- Catch missing .SA.
- When creating a new subject file, cowardly refuse to overwrite an
  existing file.
- Subject files contain topics sorted by chapter, then by name.  The
  order of chapters used to depend on how Perl sorts hash keys.  Fix
  it.

.TH Command SURVEY
.NA survey "Show distributions in map form"
.LV Expert
.SY "survey <SELECTOR> <SECTS>"
The survey command shows the distribution
of some sector selector value in map form.
This is especially useful for commodities and resources.
.s1
If <SELECTOR> can have large values, like commodity selectors, then
survey shows hundreds, else tens of the value, as digits from 0 to 9.
Sectors which have a value less or equal zero show up as blank.
Sectors whose value exceeds 999 or 99 respectively show up as '$'.
.s1
Surveyed sectors will be highlighted.
.s1
If you supply conditions (see "info Syntax"), then sectors not
matching the conditions will not be surveyed, but have their current
designation displayed as in a map instead.
.s1
Sectors not owned by you will show up as blanks.
.s1
.SA "sect, map, Maps"
