This patch cleans up several little things for optimization options in
the GCC Manual.  Tested with make dvi/info/make.  OK for mainline?
Should I backport it to 4.2, 4.1?

I have more cleanups coming but want to get these out of the way first.

2007-10-18  Janis Johnson  <janis187@us.ibm.com>

	* doc/invoke.texi (Optimization Options): In summary, show that
	falign-* and -fsched-stalled-insns options take an optional value
	and that -ftree-parallelize-loops takes a value; add opindex for
	several optimization options; fix types in opindex for several
	others; in description for -fsched-stalled-insns, show it with
	and without a value.
