tools/pdf: leave it to user to build epdfinfo

Trying to do this automatically is buggy to the point of insanity. It's
not reliable enough to use as a :post-build target for the pdf-tools
package.

Better to fail gracefully, let the user know what they must do, and let
them do it at their own discretion.
