doc: Update install.texi for GCC 13
install.texi needs some updates for GCC 13 and trunk:
* We used a mixture of Solaris 2 and Solaris references. Since Solaris
1/SunOS 4 is ancient history by now, consistently use Solaris
everywhere. Likewise, explicit references to Solaris 11 can go in
many places since Solaris 11.3 and 11.4 is all GCC supports.
* Some caveats apply to both Solaris/SPARC and x86, like the difference
between as and gas.
* Some specifics are obsolete, like the /usr/ccs/bin path whose contents
was merged into /usr/bin in Solaris 11.0 already. Likewise, /bin/sh
is ksh93 since Solaris 11.0, so there's no need to explicitly use
/bin/ksh.
* I've removed the reference to OpenCSW: there's barely a need for external
sites to get additional packages. OpenCSW is mostly unmaintained these
days and has been found to be rather harmful then helping.
* The section on assembler and linker to use was partially duplicated.
Better keep the info in one place.
* GNAT is bundled in recent Solaris 11.4 updates, so recommend that.
Tested on i386-pc-solaris2.11 with make doc/gccinstall.{info,pdf} and
inspection of the latter.

gcc:
* doc/install.texi: Consistently use Solaris rather than Solaris 2.
Remove explicit Solaris 11 references.
Markup fixes.
(Options specification, --with-gnu-as): as and gas always differ
on Solaris.
Remove /usr/ccs/bin reference.
(Installing GCC: Binaries, Solaris (SPARC, Intel)): Remove.
(i?86-*-solaris2*): Merge assembler, linker recommendations ...
(*-*-solaris2*): ... here.
Update bundled GCC versions.
Don't refer to pre-built binaries.
Remove /bin/sh warning.
Update assembler, linker recommendations.
Document GNAT bootstrap compiler.
(sparc-sun-solaris2*): Remove non-UltraSPARC reference.
