docs: credit Konrad EISELE for the initial multilib support

Konrad submitted an initial patch adding multlib support:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-11/msg00040.html

The patch was full of good ideas, but had a few issues, so
I (Yann E. MORIN) started it all from scatch, re-using part
of the original patch. This got implemented in this series:
hg log -r 446a17b5dd1e:e47d17391ae3

As I forgot to credit Konrad in these changelogs, update the
docs so that the work by Konrad gets credited. Without his
initial effort, we would probably not have had multlib support
so soon. Thank you Konrad!

    31       Add support for the Signal Processing Engine.  This will set up
    32       the toolchain so that it supports the SPE ABI extensions. This
    33       mainly targets Freescale e500 processors.
    34       
    35       Setting this option will append "spe" to the end of your target
    36       tuple name (e.g., powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe) so that the gcc
    37       configure/build system will know to include SPE ABI support. It
    38       will also automatically add "-mabi=spe -mspe" to your TARGET_CFLAGS,
    39       and "--enable-e500_double" to your CC_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY, so you
    40       do not need to explicitly add them.
