[Bug objc/24358] New: inconsistent objective-c objective-c++ language list

[wilson at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The objc/lang-specs.h file lists objc-cpp-output as an input language. 
However, the -x documentation lists objective-c-cpp-output as an input
language.

The objcp/lang-specs.h file lists both objective-c++-cpp-output and
objc++-cpp-output as input languages.  However, the -x documentation lists only
objective-c++-cpp-output.

The two languages are inconsistent with each other, and both are inconsistent
with the documentation.  These inconsistencies should be fixed.  It isn't
obvious how the Objective C/C++ maintainers would want this fixed, hence this
PR.

There are also inconsistencies within the languages lists here.  For Objective
C, we have objective-c, objective-c-header, and objc-cpp-output.  It looks odd
for the last one to be different from the first two.

I think it would make sense to have only one name for the *-cpp-output input
languages, and consistency would argue that it should be the
objective-c-cpp-output.  But since we already have confusion here over the
name, maybe we just have to support both the long and short *-cpp-output names
for now.
