Doc: Document -Wpsabi [PR81831]
Per the issue, there were a couple places in the manual where -Wno-psabi was mentioned, but the option itself was not documented. gcc/c-family/ChangeLog PR c/81831 * c.opt (Wpsabi): Remove "Undocumented" modifier and add a documentation string. gcc/ChangeLog PR c/81831 * doc/invoke.texi (Option Summary): Add -Wno-psabi. (Warning Options): Document -Wpsabi separately from -Wabi. Note it's enabled by default, not just implied by -Wabi. Replace the detailed example for a GCC 4.4 change for x86 (which is unlikely to be very interesting nowadays) with just a list of all targets that presently diagnose these warnings. (RS/6000 and PowerPC Options): Add cross-references for -Wno-psabi.
