This gives one central source of truth for the docs, so that people
updating the docs don't have to update 3 locations (doc/info,
doc/infosrc, and the docs repo).
It's perhaps a little controversial to redirect the old docs. The old
docs are still built into some OS's HTML docs packages, but I imagine
the vast majority of users access docs through the graphviz website
after using a search engine to find them.
