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. 2016-09-28 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * 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".
