Small improvements to the remote protocol manual
I was reading the gdb RSP manual recently and I found a number of
small problems in the documentation. This patch attempts to improve
these areas. Specfically:
* The term "memory breakpoint" is used only in this section of the
manual, and there inconsistently. I found this term confusing --
initially I thought it might be a watchpoint. This patch changes it
to use the term "software breakpoint", which is used in the rest of
the manual.
* The z0 packet didn't document how "kind" was written. And, it had a
stray link to the architecture-specific protocol details node. This
patch moves this link to a better spot.
* The z1 patch didn't document that it accepts cmd_list.
* I couldn't find any text saying what response is given to a command
like vCont in non-stop mode. The answer is that OK is sent, and
then a stop reply is sent as a notification. This patch adds a note
about this.
* The "create" stop reply did not document that the "R" argument is
ignored.
* The "W", "X", and "w" packets did not document how the "AA" part is
formatted.
* The %Stop notification example said "%%Stop", but I think this is
incorrect.

* gdb.texinfo (Packets) <z0>: Use "software breakpoint" rather
than "memory breakpoint". Further document "kind". Move
protocol-details link earlier.
<z1>: Document the cmd_list argument. Fix typo.
<g>: Remove incorrect sentence.
(Stop Reply Packets): Document "OK" response to requests when in
non-stop mode.
<swbreak>: Use "software breakpoint" rather than "memory
breakpoint".
<create>: Document that "R" is ignored.
<W, X, w>: Document formatting of "AA".
(Notification Packets): Use "%Stop", not "%%Stop".
