gcc/doc: adjust __builtin_choose_expr() description

Present wording has misled people to believe the ?: operator would be
evaluating all three of the involved expressions.

	(dis)similarity to the ?: operator.

+Like the @samp{? :} operator, this built-in function does not evaluate the
+expression that is not chosen.  For example, if @var{const_exp} evaluates to
+@code{true}, @var{exp2} is not evaluated even if it has side effects.  On the
+other hand, @code{__builtin_choose_expr} differs from @samp{? :} in that the

+subject to the @samp{? :} type constraints and promotions.
 
 This built-in function can return an lvalue if the chosen argument is an
 lvalue.
