Per the DWARF web site
http://dwarfstd.org/Download.php
the correct names of the various versions of the DWARF standard appear
to be either DWARF Version N or DWARF N, rather than e.g. DWARF2,
DWARF-2, dwarf2, or whatever. This patch to invoke.texi makes usages
reflect the official names. Similarly, I've fixed up a couple instances
of incorrect usage of stabs (official name seems to be all lowercase,
like that) and ELF.
Checked in to trunk as obvious.
