Closes #151833.

Doc/README.rst lists the available documentation make targets, but it did not mention texinfo, doctest, or gettext.

These targets are defined in Doc/Makefile and are part of the documentation build tooling. This change updates the README target list so it is more complete for contributors reading the documentation build instructions.

Validation performed:

  • make check from Doc/
  • git diff --check

This is a documentation-only change.

I would suggest moving all of these to https://devguide.python.org/documentation/start-documenting/#documenting, and pointing people there. The Devguide already has more detailed build instructions for several targets, which would be of more help to contributors.
