I noticed one more doc snippet that became obsolete with the removal of
Solaris 10 support, namely invoke.texi's description of
-mvect8-ret-in-mem. I noticed that it mentions that the default of the
Solaris Studio compilers changed after Studio 12.1, but Studio 12.3 is
the first release to support Solaris 11, so I ripped out all the Solaris
specifics in that description since it's now VxWorks-only.
Tested with make doc/gcc.info and inspecting the result, installed on
mainline.
