[gdb/doc] Fix negative repeat count examining memory example
The documentation for the examining memory command x contains an example: ... You can also specify a negative repeat count to examine memory backward from the given address. For example, 'x/-3uh 0x54320' prints three halfwords (h) at 0x54314, 0x54328, and 0x5431c. ... The 0x54328 looks like a typo, which was intended to be 0x54318. But the series uses a 4-byte distance, while the halfword size used in the command means a 2-byte distance, so the series should be: ... 0x5431a, 0x5431c, and 0x5431e. ... Fix this by updating the addresses in the example accordingly. Reported here ( https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2021-November/049784.html ).
