doc: Streamline hppa*-hp-hpux11 installation instructions

	A HP/UX linker patch from the GCC 3.3 era and Binutils 2.14
	no longer should require special mention.

	These originally came in via commit c51244972206 in April 2004 as
	  * doc/install.texi: Update HP-UX 11 installation procedure.

gcc:
	PR target/69374
	* doc/install.texi (Specific) <hppa*-hp-hpux11>: Remove references
	to HP/UX linker patch from 2004 and Binutils 2.14.

-A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of
-GCC 3.3 and later.  @code{PHSS_26559} and @code{PHSS_24304} are the
-oldest linker patches that are known to work.  They are for HP-UX
-11.00 and 11.11, respectively.  @code{PHSS_24303}, the companion to

-The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the
-32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers.  Weak
-symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols.  Prior
-to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols.
-The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared
-libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other
-linking issues involving secondary symbols.

-GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to
-run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port.  The 32-bit port
-uses the linker @option{+init} and @option{+fini} options for the same
-purpose.  The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini
-options, including program core dumps.  Binutils 2.14 corrects a
-problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of
-the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers.
