[PATCH][GCC][DOCS][AArch64][ARM] Documentation updates adding -A extensions.


Hi All,

This patch updates the documentation for AArch64 and ARM correcting the use of the
architecture namings by adding the -A suffix in appropriate places.

Build done on aarch64-none-elf and arm-none-eabi and no issues.

Ok for trunk?

Thanks,
Tamar

	* doc/extend.texi: Add -A suffix (ARMv8*-A, ARMv7-A).
	* doc/invoke.texi: Add -A suffix (ARMv8*-A, ARMv7-A).
	* doc/sourcebuild.texi: Add -A suffix (ARMv8*-A, ARMv7-A).
