[PATCH] Fix -fopt-info documentation in invoke.texi

The description of the default behavour of -fopt-info in invoke.texi is
wrong.  This patch fixes it.  I also added a sentence to explicitly say
what is implied by the note that -fopt-info-vec-missed is the same as
-fopt-info-missed-vec.  Namely, that order doesn't matter.

OK to checkin?
