[doc, committed] reorder entries in cppopts.texi


I've checked in the attached patch to reorder entries in cppopts.texi. I put the most-commonly-used options (e.g. -D and -U) first, and the options for debugging cpp last, and tried to group the things in between a little better.

There's no change to actual content here, just the ordering.
