gdb/doc: shorten some source lines, and prevent some line breaks
Building on the previous commit, this makes use of a trailing @ to split long @deffn lines in the guile.texi source file. This splitting doesn't change how the document is laid out by texinfo. I have also wrapped keyword and argument name pairs in @w{...} to prevent line breaks appearing between the two. I've currently only done this for the longer @deffn lines, where a line break is possible. This makes the @deffn lines much nicer to read in the generated pdf.
