Nice!

See complete_on_enum.

Actually, "handle" accepts more than one signal. E.g.,
(gdb) handle SIGCANCEL SIGABRT stop
Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description
SIGABRT Yes Yes Yes Aborted
SIGCANCEL Yes Yes Yes LWP internal signal
Can we make that work? Basically, for all but the first arg, you'd
accept the union of the signal names, and the possible actions.

You can use the existing complete_on_enum instead. (Just add a NULL terminator
to the string array.)

The first line of the doc is special. It's what "apropos" shows.
before:
(gdb) apropos signals
handle -- Specify how to handle a signal
info handle -- What debugger does when program gets various signals
info signals -- What debugger does when program gets various signals
after:
(gdb) apropos signals
handle -- Handle signals: handle SIGNAL [KEYWORDS]
info handle -- What debugger does when program gets various signals
info signals -- What debugger does when program gets various signals
The old strings looked better here to me.
This and the "signal" docu change are a bit of a tangent wrt completion,
so split them out, please.
