[RFA/doco] expand solib_unloaded documentation...

Hello,

It turns out from a discussion on when to reset watchpoint expressions
that it's important to know when solib_unloaded notifications are sent
(either before or after the solib's symbols are unloaded). Right now,
the notications are sent before, so this patch documents this fact.

        * observer.texi (solib_unloaded): Document explicitly the fact that
        this observer is called before the associated symbols are unloaded.

Tested by rebuilding gdb on x86_64-linux.
OK to apply?

Thanks,

Joel
