gprofng docs: mention HTML / PDF in the gprofng README
The HTML and PDF formats are described in the gprofng tutorial (info topic "Other Document Formats"). In addition, describe them in the README because: they are important; they are easily searchable; and the README is primarily oriented to the person who is installing gprofng, who may differ from the person who follows a user tutorial.

+HTML and PDF documentation

+ You may want to generate an HTML or PDF version of the manual in addition
+ to the above info pages. These versions may be easier to read and easier
+ to search. To generate HTML:
+
+ cd build # the same build directory you created above
+ cd gprofng/doc
+ make html
+ sudo make install-html
+
+ If you would like PDF documentation, you will need the texi2dvi utility.
+ If it is not already included in the texinfo package mentioned above, try
+ installing package texinfo-tex. To generate PDF:
+
+ cd build # the same build directory you created above
+ cd gprofng/doc
+ make pdf
+ sudo make install-pdf
