Fix Group/Link Info Status wording and undocumented defaults (#6616) (#6681)

Browse Source 
Issue #6616: Group Info and Link Info are labeled Optional, but
new-style group creation always writes both, and the C library errors
reading a new-style group missing either one.

- Group Info / Link Info Status: Optional -> Required for "new style"
  groups; may not be repeated (matches existing Symbol Table wording
  for old-style groups).
- Documents the decoder's fallback values (8, 6) for Link Phase
  Change: Maximum Compact/Minimum Dense Value when absent.
