[PATCH] [gdb/doc]: Updated manpages to be consistent with help

[Philippe Waroquiers]

Note that I started a patch to have the options consistently using -- 

But as GDB accepts various layout for options (such as -thisone or --thisone),
it was not very clear it that was a good thing to do.
Pedro e.g. commented that GDB does not use the concept of 'short' and 'long' options.

Finally, as I understand, the decision was rather to use as cannnical form
  -thisone
 (in the doc and on line help)
and so the manual should then also be aligned.

Sadly, I had no time to finalize the patch (i.e. to rather systematically use
the single dash convention).
But this patch seems then not to go into what I think is the last agreed direction.

See the initial RFC in 
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-June/179587.html
and RFA in

Thanks
Philippe
