[PATCH v2 4/4] btrace: add instruction-history /s and fix documentation

Add support for the /s modifier of the "record instruction-history" command.  It
behaves exactly like /m and prints disassembled instructions in the order in
which they were recorded with interleaved sources.  We accept /s in addition
to /m to align with the "disassemble" command.

The "record instruction-history" modifiers were not documented.  Document
all of them.

gdb/
	* record.c (get_insn_history_modifiers): Set DISASSEMBLY_SOURCE
	instead of DISASSEMBLY_SOURCE_DEPRECATED.  Also accept /s.
	(_initialize_record): Document the /s modifier.
	* NEWS: Announce record instruction-history's new /s modifier.

doc/
	* gdb.texinfo (Process Record and Replay): Document "record
	instruction-history" modifiers.

   The "/m" option is now considered deprecated: its "source-centric"
   output hasn't proved useful in practice.
 
+* The "record instruction-history" command accepts a new modifier: /s.
+  It behaves exactly like /m and prints mixed source+disassembly.
+
 * The "set scheduler-locking" command supports a new mode "replay".
   It behaves like "off" in record mode and like "on" in replay mode.

 Speculatively executed instructions are prefixed with @samp{?}.  This
 feature is not available for all recording formats.
