RTEMS Source Builder | SIS Fails to build on Fedora/RHEL Systems (#161)

[Frank Kuehndel (@frank_k)]

I did a short test on an Ubuntu container. Without patching `source-builder/defaults.mc` I get

```

RTEMS Source Builder - Check, 7 (751299446e8f)
Environment is ok
```

With the following patch: 

```
diff --git a/source-builder/defaults.mc b/source-builder/defaults.mc

I get

```

Installing the `install-info` package, will then make these tests pass.

What I cannot check is FreeBSD. I just guess `source-builder/sb/freebsd.py` around line 128 needs changing:
 
```
        #
        # On 11.0+ makeinfo and install-info have moved to /usr/local/...
        #
        if fb_version >= 11:
            defines['__install_info'] = ('exe', 'optional',
                                         '/usr/local/bin/install-info')
            defines['__makeinfo'] = ('exe', 'required',
                                     '/usr/local/bin/makeinfo')
```

Just to mention it: Requiring an additional package on the host would lead to change and test the instructions on setting up a Host Computer in the [RTEMS User Manual](https://docs.rtems.org/docs/main/user/hosts/posix.html#posix-hosts).
