Re: GDB 11 branching update (2021-06-13)

The below patch completes/fixes the user manual and gdb --help.

Eli has has reviewed the user manual changes, I have fixed the 2 comments he gave.
The --help changes are quite trivial (only fixes in the help text and a small
change so that -w --windows starts the TUI if configured).

It is for sure not critical, but might be suitable for GDB 11

Thanks
Philippe
