This patch updates the Service instructions in gcc.texi. Hopefully
the new instructions given (gcc-help for help installing and using
GCC; gcc for help changing GCC; and the online bug reporting
instructions for reporting bugs) are more correct than the old ones
(gcc-bugs for any help request). As there's a FAQ on this topic, the
patch makes the manual reference that FAQ as well.
It passes "make info". OK to commit?

* gcc.texi (Service): Update to reflect current practice and
location of the GNU service directory, and to point to the
relevant FAQ.
