`Info-history-forward`not bound to `C-i` as per evil-collection

I confirm that...

• I have searched the issue tracker, documentation, FAQ, Discourse, and Google, in case this issue has already been reported/resolved.
• I have read "How to Debug Issues", and will use it to provide as much information about this issue as possible.
• The issue can be reproduced on the latest available commit of Doom.
• The issue can be reproduced on a stable release of Emacs, such as 27, 28, or 29. (Unstable versions end in .50, .60, or .9x)

Expected behavior

According to evil-collection, the Info-history-forward command should be bound to C-i within Info-mode-map.

Current behavior

It doesn't. I'm not sure if Doom is at fault; I suspect it's because there's a variable with the exact same name, Info-history-forward.

Steps to reproduce

1. press C-h i (info)
2. choose some node
3. return back with C-o
4. try to go forward in history with C-i

I managed to fix it enclosing C-i in angular brackets like this:

(map! :after info
      :map Info-mode-map
      :n "<C-i>" #'Info-history-forward

Do you happen to use emacsclient? Whenever I use emacsclient, emacs interprets C-i as a TAB. Which I think is similar behavior as terminals?

If I use emacs without the daemon, it works just fine.

Emacs (and terminals) understand C-i and TAB to be the same key. Its ability to distinguish the two (and bind to <C-i>) is a Doomism that will only work in GUI Emacs unless you're using a terminal with kitty protocol support and Doom's :tools tty module enabled (or kkp installed yourself).

So <C-i> isn't an available target to the wider Emacs community (or evil-collection). An effort is needed to look up and rebind any C-i keys that evil-collection binds in a evil-collection-setup-hook hook. I'm open to PRs to do so.
