Patch to known bugs web pages

This patch updates the known bugs information on the GCC web pages: for
Known bugs, index.html ought to link to bugs.html#known; bugs.html
shouldn't link back to the old faq.html#bugreport URL; the glibc 2.2 and
PINE on Solaris bugs deserve a mention as frequently reported.  OK to
commit?

(Someone ought to add information on in what versions the PINE on Solaris
bug will be fixed.  If a patch is available it would be a good idea for it
to be fixed in GCC 2.95.3.)
