[PATCH] doc: Update -falign-functions/-falign-loops/-falign-jumps

[H.J. Lu]

Change -falign-functions=N to

    Align the start of functions to the next power-of-two greater than
    or equal to N.

Add

    If '-falign-labels' is greater than this value, then its value is
    used instead.

to -falign-loops=N and -falign-jumps=N.

OK for master?

H.J.
