There appears to be a broken option in our version of info.el to allow
changing the footnote reference tag.  When it replaces the `Note'
string with `See' any line breakage in the footnote is lost.  Since
the lossage is only introduced if the footnote tag is changed, here is
my (tested) minimal fix to this problem.

	* packages/info.el (Info-footnote-tag): Changing the footnote tag
	from the default "Note" is broken.
