tests: fix spurious failure with older install-info

* tests/install-info-dir.test (foo.texi): Also add proper
`@settitle', `@dircategory' and `@direntry' directive, otherwise
older versions of `install-info' (e.g., 4.8) will fail to create
the `dir' index file in ${infodir}.

Problem revealed by a failure on NetBSD 5.1.
