[PATCH] Document that vector_size works with typedefs [PR92880]

[Andrew Pinski]

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.

OK?


gcc/ChangeLog:

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