Document 'set print frame-info|frame-arguments presence'.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-06-19 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* NEWS: Mention 'set|show print frame-info'. Mention new
'presence' value for 'frame-arguments'. Mention new '-frame-info'
backtrace argument. Mention that python frame filtering code
is now consistent with what 'backtrace' command prints.
