[wwwdocs] C++03 missing on https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html

[U.Mutlu]

On this page all ISO C++ standards versions of gcc/g++ are listed, except C++03:
https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html

This looks much like an error/omission b/c g++ has the options -std=c++03 and 
-std=gnu++03

C++03 isn't a separate standard version, just technical corrigendum
and the page mentions it:

C++98 Support in GCC
GCC has full support for the 1998 C++ standard as modified by the 2003
technical corrigendum

-std=c++03 is an alias to -std=c++98 and -std=gnu++03 is an alias to
-std=gnu++98 and the gcc manual explains that.

Whatever, but they still could list it like the others and then give the 
explanation you gave.
B/c otherwise it looks like as if the doc writer has forgotten one of the 
historic steps...

I disagree. If you actually know what the -std=c++03 option means, you
wouldn't think that. And it already says GCC had full support for C++ 1998
*including the 2003 Technical Corrigendum*.

The document doesn't need to be clear to people who have no idea what C++
is, or what the gcc options mean, because that's not the audience it's
intended for

We could add "The options -std=c++03 and -std=gnu++03 are equivalent to
-std=c++98 and -std=gnu++98, respectively." To the very end. That would not
be as misleading as adding a separate artificial listing for C++03.
