Minor "catch" documentation improvements
This patch makes a few minor improvements to the catchpoint documentation: * "catch exception" and "catch handlers" now mention the argument in the @item. * "catch exception unhandled" is moved to be closer to "catch exception", rather than after "catch handlers". * "catch load" and "catch unload" now wrap the argument in @var. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2019-05-10 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * gdb.texinfo (Set Catchpoints): Add text for parameter to "catch exception" and "catch handlers". Move "catch exception unhandled" text. Use @var for "catch load" and "catch unload"
