[commit] Improve documentation of Windows debugging options


FYI: I found some typos and inaccuracies in the description of the
Windows "set/show debug..." options, so I fixed them as below.

Committed.

2006-01-28  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@gnu.org>

	* gdb.texinfo (Cygwin Native): Fix typos.  Clarify the types of
	debugging information produced by the various "set debug..."
	options.
