    expand a bit the in-GDB help for the "catch exception" help text · 60a90376

    One of our users remarked that the help doesn't mention the fact that
    the "catch exception" supports the special argument "unhandled" to catch
    exceptions which do not have a handler. This patch changes the output
    of...
    
     | (gdb) help catch exception
     | Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
     | With an argument, catch only exceptions with the given name.
    
    ... to ...
    
     | (gdb) help catch exception
     | Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
     | Usage: catch exception [ ARG ]
     |
     | Without any argument, stop when any Ada exception is raised.
     | If ARG is "unhandled" (without the quotes), only stop when the exception
     | being raised does not have a handler (and will therefore lead to the task's
     | termination).
     | Otherwise, the catchpoint only stops when the name of the exception being
     | raised is the same as ARG.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
            * ada-lang.c (_initialize_ada_language): Expand the help text
            for the "catch exception" command.
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
