[wwwdocs,committed] 4.5/changes.html: Add link to manual for -flto


I have added a hyperlink to http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/changes.html 's
-flto entry, linking to -flto in the manual.

My hope is that this increases the chance that people read the relevant
entry in the manual and that they thus realize
a) that -flto has to be used at both compile and link time -- and
b) that -fwhole-program is not implied by -flto

Especially (b) was (is?) assumed by several people; thus one could
actually think of mentioning -fwhole-program in the release notes.
