This updates invoke.texi to document -mblock-compare-inline-limit,
-mblock-compare-inline-loop-limit, and -mstring-compare-inline-limit.

Tested with "make pdf", ok for trunk?

	PR target/85321
	* doc/invoke.texi (RS/6000 and PowerPC Options): Document options
	-mblock-compare-inline-limit, -mblock-compare-inline-loop-limit,
	and -mstring-compare-inline-limit.
