[ecj] Patch: FYI: document --enable-java-maintainer-mode


I'm checking this in on the gcj-eclipse-merge-branch.

This documents --enable-java-maintainer-mode in install.texi.

I think I've finally reached the end of my to-do list for the merge.
However I would appreciate it if someone else could look at the
documentation and say whether it looks sufficient.  Also, if you know
of a merge task that I've missed, that would help as well.
