gdb: add mailing list and IRC information to --help
A few user-vibisble changes to the --help output: * Remove unnecessary quotes around bug url. * Mention the mailing list and IRC channel as places where users can ask GDB-related questions. * Add empty lines between items in the footer, to improve readability. * Remove unnecessary new line at the end of output. 2020-06-09 Jonny Grant <jg@jguk.org> 2020-06-09 Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> * main.c (captured_main_1): Don't print new line after help. (print_gdb_help): add mailing list and IRC channel information to --help. Add new lines between items in the footer. Remove quotes around bug url. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Grant <jg@jguk.org> Change-Id: Ibd0746a348d558fb35b5cd7e366f107742806565
