[COMMITTED] Remove references to i386-pc-linux-gnu from INSTALL andmanual.


Given that we've all agreed that i386 is no longer
officially supported, and that we already removed it
from the list of supported targets with adae8f5e
by Joseph in 2012-04-27, this patch removes the last
traces of i386-pc-linux-gnu from INSTALL and manual
recommendations. Instead update the example to talk 
about i686 and i586.

Verified manual builds and looks good.

Checked in.

	* INSTALL: Mention i686 and i586.
	* manual/install.texi (Configuring and compiling): Likewise.
