[PATCH] document ELF .local directive

The ".local" directive in GAS is not documented.  I discovered this while 
comparing .lcomm with an alignment argument vs. using .comm with .local.  GCC 
defaults to use the latter for ELF targets, so I thought it would be worth 
mentioning that idiom in connection with .local.  Does this look OK?  I tested 
it by running "make info" and "make pdf".
