[bug#57074] [PATCH v2] gnu: maxima: Fix to find info files.

["Daniel Meißner via Guix-patches via" <guix-patches@gnu.org>]

The Maxima command ‘describe’ allows to pick the relevant portions from
Maxima’s Texinfo docs.  However it does not support reading gzipped info
files.

* gnu/packages/maths.scm (maxima)[arguments]<phases>: Delete
'compress-documentation phase.

Thanks for the review, Maxime.  Here's the updated patch.

Best
Daniel
