bug#46236: 26.1; explicit the info files installation

When I say `C-h r' without `emacs-common-non-dfsg' installed on my Debian machine, I get "Info file emacs does not exist". I get the same message when trying to follow the Info node reference from `C-h f pcase', but it is complaining about the elisp manual.


A suggestion: when the info files bundled with Emacs cannot be found, download them from info.gnu.org (after asking the user if they're okay with that) and install them into ~/.emacs.d/info. The info files that are supposed to be bundled with Emacs are not that big (about 5 MB, gzipped), and something similar (downloading data from a gnu.org site and install them into a ~/.emacs.d subdirectory) happens with M-x list-packages.
