[PATCH] fix some conditionals in GAS doc


This fixes some problems with conditionals. They are fairly obvious. One conditional chops off the end of a sentence. The Skip and Space directive nodes are conditionalized but their menu entries are not. The description of .line has a conditional to alternatively describe .ln in a node named "Ln" instead of "Line", but there is already an unconditional "Ln" node with its own conditionalized description.

This patch is relative to my previous change. I tested it by running "make info".

OK?

	* doc/as.texinfo (Dot): Expand no-space-dir conditional to include
	a complete sentence.
	(Pseudo Ops): Put conditionals around Skip and Space menu entries.
	(Line): Remove conditional declaration of Ln node and section here.
	Put aout-bout description inside the no-line-dir conditional.
	(Skip, Space): Use a separate conditional for each node.
