[binutils-gdb] Make the "info proc" documentation more consistent.


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=73f1bd769a5216b3debc1025faa62a466c5a1e68

commit 73f1bd769a5216b3debc1025faa62a466c5a1e68
Author: John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>
Date:   Tue Sep 18 14:05:48 2018 -0700

    Make the "info proc" documentation more consistent.
    
    Remove "running" in a few places since "info proc" can be used with
    core dumps as well as running processes on both Linux and FreeBSD.
    
    Use "the specified process" in the description of most "info proc"
    subcommands.
    
    Use "additional information" instead of "/proc process information" in
    the "info proc" description to more closely match the language in the
    manual.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* infcmd.c (_initialize_infcmd): Remove "running" from "info proc"
    	description.  Make "info proc" command descriptions more
    	consistent.
    
    gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.texinfo (info proc): Remove "running".
    	(info proc mappings): Replace "program" with "process".
