[PATCH 3/4] GDB: Fix documentation for invoking GDBSERVER

[John Darrington <john@darrington.wattle.id.au>]

The documentation did not mention the possibility of invoking gdbserver
with the new connection forms such as tcp6:host:port.  This change fixes
that.

gdb/doc/

  * gdb.texinfo (Server): Tabulate the various permitted forms of the @var{comm}
   metasyntactical variable.  Include the unix:@var{host}:@var{socket} form as
   one of them.
