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.
