I noticed a bunch of copy-editing issues in the "ARC Options" section of invoke.texi. I'm willing to take a stab at fixing them, but I need some technical assistance since I'm not familiar with the details of this architecture myself.

* In e.g. "Compile for ARC 600 cpu with norm instruction enabled." is "norm" literally the name of an instruction, GCC implementor jargon, or a term that is used and capitalized like that in the processor documentation? Ditto for "mul32x16", "mul64", "LR", "SR", "mpy", "mac", "mulu64", "swap", "DIV/REM", "MPY", "MPYU", "MPYW", "MPYUW", "MPY_S", "MPYM", "MPYMU". For other targets, literal names of instructions are usually marked up with @code{}, and it would be good to be consistent about whether uppercase or lowercase is preferred for ARC instruction names. If any of these are GCC-specific internal jargon, it would be better to use the same terminology that appears in the processor documentation, or failing that, real English words.

* In "FPX: Generate Double Precision FPX instructions", is "Double Precision FPX" a proper name literally capitalized like that, or is this a mistake for "double-precision FPX instructions"? Likewise for "Single Precision FPX"?

* In e.g. the discussion of fpuda_div, is "simple precision" a typo for "single precision"? Likewise is "multiple and add" a typo for "multiply and add"?
