Document the -Ov option, minor fix for gcc -Og
The -Ov option is useful but was undocumented. Add an initialization to keep gcc from complaining at optimization level -Og. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com>

\S{opt-O} The \i\c{-O} Option: Specifying \i{Multipass Optimization}
Using the \c{-O} option, you can tell NASM to carry out different
-levels of optimization. The syntax is:
+levels of optimization. Multiple flags can be specified after the
+\c{-O} options, some of which can be combined in a single option,
+e.g. \c{-Oxv}.
\b \c{-O0}: No optimization. All operands take their long forms,
if a short form is not specified, except conditional jumps.

The \c{-Ox} mode is recommended for most uses, and is the default
since NASM 2.09.
