    doc: Rewrite/reorganize discussion of attribute syntax [PR102397]

    Now that GCC's default language dialect for both C and C++ includes
    support for the standard attribute syntax, we should encourage users
    to prefer that instead of the legacy GNU syntax, while recognizing
    that there is a lot of code out there using the latter.  This patch
    updates the discussion in the introduction to the Attributes section
    with examples showing attribute placement in both syntaxes and focuses
    the syntax section on the GNU syntax only.  (Users can read the C/C++
    standards, programming books or tutorials, etc to learn about the
    standard syntax, so we don't need to document that in detail.)
