    Document that vector_size works with typedefs [PR92880]
    
    This just adds a clause to make it more obvious that the vector_size
    attribute extension works with typedefs.
    Note this whole section needs a rewrite to be a similar format as other
    extensions. But that is for another day.

            PR c/92880
            * doc/extend.texi (Using Vector Instructions): Add that
            the base_types could be a typedef of them.

-The @code{int} type specifies the @dfn{base type}, while the attribute specifies
-the vector size for the variable, measured in bytes.  For example, the
-declaration above causes the compiler to set the mode for the @code{v4si}
-type to be 16 bytes wide and divided into @code{int} sized units.  For
-a 32-bit @code{int} this means a vector of 4 units of 4 bytes, and the

 The @code{vector_size} attribute is only applicable to integral and
 floating scalars, although arrays, pointers, and function return values
