I missed disabling the dependency to readline when
'installed-readline' is disabled.  Here's another example.

I also fixed a repoman warning related to tinfo and renamed
'installed_readline' to 'installed-readline'.

It installs and runs well with `USE='-installed-readline tinfo' emerge
-v 'bash::local'`.

The modifications related to tinfo by the way is related to this:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588486.  I can't install bash
properly without it.
