[Buildroot] [PATCH] trivial: fix typo 'informations'

[Buildroot] [PATCH] trivial: fix typo 'informations'

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

In English, unlike in French, almost all usages of the word 'information'
are uncountable, meaning that 'informations' is invalid.
This patch fixes this typo throughout the tree, except in CHANGES and
docs/news.html (historic text).
