[PATCH] more changes to gnats.texi

When I removed a reference to gccbug in gnats.html I hadn't noticed that
it is also referenced later in the file.  Gerald said it's OK to still
mention it, but not encourage its use.

This patch adds back in the information about gccbug but discourages
people from using it, and it switches the two tools in the header.
Gerald, does this look OK?
