Fix add-symbol-file usage and errors
This patch updates add-symbol-file help and error text. It changes add-symbol-file to throw an exception if "-s" is seen but not all of the arguments are given. Previously this was silently ignored. It changes the unrecognized argument message to more clearly state what went wrong. Finally, it updates the usage line in the help text to follow GNU style regarding "metasyntactic variables"; a change I believe should be made to all gdb help messages. gdb/ChangeLog 2017-11-29 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * symfile.c (add_symbol_file_command): Error if some arguments to -s are missing. Change unrecognized-argument error message. (_initialize_symfile): Fix usage text for add-symbol-file. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2017-11-29 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * gdb.base/relocate.exp: Update invalid argument test. Add new tests for invalid arguments.
