[PATCH] Tweak text of error message

- Subject: [PATCH] Tweak text of error message
I spent what I consider an inordinate amount of time figuring out that
it wasn't the option that gcc was complaining about, it was the argument
I had passed. Both error conditions use the same text in their message.
This tweaks the second case to be more specific.
I'm running the testsuite just in case something in there checks for this
particular text. Okay for mainline if it passes?

* toplev.c (read_integral_parameter): Use "argument" in error
message to distinguish it from actual invalid options.
