PR gdb/16930 points out that the "find" command uses an inclusive
range; but this is not documented in the "help".  This patch updates
the help text.

	PR gdb/16930:
	* findcmd.c (_initialize_mem_search): Mention that the range is
	inclusive.

 SIZE-CHAR is one of b,h,w,g for 8,16,32,64 bit values respectively,\n\

+The two-address form specifies an inclusive range.\n\
 Note that this means for example that in the case of C-like languages\n\

 which is typically four bytes, and a search for a string \"hello\" will\n\
