[wwwdocs] Add reference to pp_format to Coding Conventions

[Jonathan Wakely]

Finding the docs for the GCC-specific diagnostic formats isn't easy.
This might help.

OK for wwwdocs?

I'm afraid pretty-print.cc covers only some of them.
E.g. tree-diagnostic.cc (default_tree_printer) adds several important
ones (%T, %E, %D and %F; but unfortunately we don't document those like
the comment about pp_format does).
Then there are the C++ specific formats, cp/error.cc (cp_printer) comment
documents those.
fortran/error.cc (error_print) comment similarly for Fortran FE specific
modifiers.
dumpfile.cc (dump_pretty_printer::decode_format) documents its extensions
too.
