Doc tweaks
* doc/lispref/frames.texi (Multiple Terminals): Copyedits. * lisp/frame.el (display-monitor-attributes-list): Doc tweaks. * nt/README.W32, src/ChangeLog.10, src/w32term.c: Standardize on "taskbar" rather than "task bar", since that is what most references seem to use; e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taskbar http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-taskbar
