[texinfo-pretest] makeinfo patch: better docbook translation of definitions

The current way makeinfo translates definition commands to docbook
is less than optimal.  The most obvious is the initial summary line
is nested within the <blockquote>, so it too gets indented.  This
could be fixed in a stylesheet, I guess, but I think using blockquote
is awkward.  Instead I propose the attached patch.

I tried getting feedback from the docbooks moguls whether this was
a suitable mapping, but got thundering silence.  Any case, this
works for me.
