gdb/doc: add missing parentheses around prompt in some examples
While reading the manual for -info-os I noticed that the GDB prompt is given as 'gdb' when it should really be '(gdb)'. This is because the prompt is created with: '@value{GDBP}'. The GDBP variable (the GDB program name) is intended for use as the prompt string (though this is not used consistently throughout the manual), however it is normally used like '(@value{GDBP})', but in a couple of places the enclosing parentheses are missing. In this commit I do the following: - Change '@value{GDBP}' to '(@value{GDBP})' wherever the variable represents a prompt string. - Replaces '(gdb)' with '(@value{GDBP})' in one example where we are already using '(@value{GDBP})', this makes that one example consistent. I have NOT: - Changed all instances of '(gdb)' with '(@value{GDBP})', this would be a huge change. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Add missing parentheses to GDB prompt in example, and replace '(gdb)' with '(@value{GDBP})' in one example where the latter was already in use.
