[RFA] ld.texinfo: clarify auto-import documentation

Given some recent confusion on the cygwin mailing list concerning
auto-import, I figured it would be a good idea to expand this
documentation slightly.
Short version: the recently fixed bug where ld silently created buggy
code when auto-importing multiword variables (arrays, structs) also
applies to OTHER multiword vars (long longs, etc). The documentation
implied that ONLY arrays and structs would trigger the "fix" error
message; these changes make it clear that several data types can give
rise to that behavior.
Okay to apply?
