Document that vector_size works with typedefs [PR92880]
This just adds a clause to make it more obvious that the vector_size
attribute extension works with typedefs.
Note this whole section needs a rewrite to be a similar format as other
extensions. But that is for another day.

* doc/extend.texi (Using Vector Instructions): Add that
the base_types could be a typedef of them.

specifies

The @code{vector_size} attribute is only applicable to integral and
floating scalars, although arrays, pointers, and function return values
