[www] Add note about computed gotos to changes and porting guide
Even though there is not many computed gotos in the wild and even less
that would use an integer type, it would still be a good idea to add
this new error message to both changes and the porting to guide.
OK?

+<h1>Porting to GCC 12</h1>
+
+<p>
+The GCC 12 release series differs from previous GCC releases in
+<a href="changes.html">a number of ways</a>. Some of these are a result
+of bug fixing, and some old behaviors have been intentionally changed
+to support new standards, or relaxed in standards-conforming ways to
+facilitate compilation or run-time performance.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some of these changes are user visible and can cause grief when
+porting to GCC 12. This document is an effort to identify common issues
+and provide solutions. Let us know if you have suggestions for improvements!

+<h3 id="computedgotos">Computed goto now require a pointer type</h3>
+
+<p>
+In GCC 12, computed gotos require a pointer type.
+An example which was accepted before:</p>
+<pre><code>
+ void f(void)
+ {
+ goto *10;
+ }
+</code></pre>
+is no longer accepted and you need to add a cast to it like:
+
+<pre><code>
+ void f(void)
+ {
+ goto *(void*)10;
+ }
+</code></pre>
