gcc-plugins.txt: standardize document format

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- promote main title;
- use the right markup for footnotes;
- use bold markup for files name;
- identify literal blocks;
- add blank lines to avoid Sphinx to complain;
- remove numeration from titles.

 	This is the directory of the GCC plugins.

 	This is a compatibility header for GCC plugins.
 	It should be always included instead of individual gcc headers.
 
-$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugin.sh
+**$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugin.sh**
+
 	This script checks the availability of the included headers in
 	gcc-common.h and chooses the proper host compiler to build the plugins
 	(gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++).

 	These headers automatically generate the registration structures for
 	GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes. They support all gcc versions
 	from 4.5 to 6.0.
 	They should be preferred to creating the structures by hand.
