Document support for 'info proc' on FreeBSD.
Since the 'info proc' support on FreeBSD does not use /proc, reword the documentation for 'info proc' to not assume /proc. This includes renaming the node to 'Process Information' and suggesting that additional process information can be queried via different OS-specific interfaces. This is also cleans up the description of 'info proc' support for core files a bit as /proc is not used for core file support on any current platform. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Document that 'info proc' now works on FreeBSD. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (pwd): Update cross-reference for Process Information node and remove explicit /proc reference. (Native): Rename subsection from SVR4 Process Information to Process Information. (Process Information): Reword introduction to be less /proc centric. Document support for "info proc" on FreeBSD.
