Hi!
I've noticed that while Jason documented the -fabi-version=13/-Wabi=12
8.2 fix in the C++ section, there is no mention of it in the 8.2 section,
so if people just quickly look at what significant has changed in 8.2,
they will not notice that.
This patch fixes the markup in Jason's changes <code> etc. and adds a short
note also to the 8.2 section, with a cross reference to the C++ section.
Ok for wwwdocs?

+<h4>C++</h4>
+ GCC 8.2 fixed a bug introduced in GCC 8.1 affecting passing or returning
+ of classes with a deleted copy constructor and defaulted trivial move
+ constructor (bug <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/PR86094";>c++/86094</a>).
+ GCC 8.2 introduces <code>-fabi-version=13</code> and makes it the default,
+ ABI incompatibilities between GCC 8.1 and 8.2 can be reported with
+ <code>-Wabi=12</code>. See <a href="#cxx">C++ changes</a> for more
+ details.
