[PATCH 2/7] Cleanup some docs about memory write

[Simon Marchi <simon dot marchi at ericsson dot com>]

Some docs seemed outdated. In the case of target_write_memory, the docs
in target.c and target/target.h diverged a bit, so I tried to find a
reasonnable in-between version.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* corefile.c (write_memory): Update doc.
	* gdbcore.h (write_memory): Same.
	* target.c (target_write_memory): Same.
	* target/target.h (target_write_memory): Same.
