gdb.texinfo patch for -var-list-children (2)

[Chris Genly <chgenly@gmail.com>]

Description

The gdb documentation for the MI command -var-list-children does not
define the exp
result for a child.  Exp and other child results documented.

Sorry I didn't document this with the last patch.  But my
understanding of MI commands is still increasing.

	* doc/gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Variable Objects): Document child
	definition in -var-list-children.  Added exp result for child.

+ For each child the following results are returned:
+
+ @table @var
+
+ @item name
+ Name of the variable object created for this child.
+
+ @item exp
+ The expression to be shown to the user by the front end to designate
this child.
+ For example this may be the name of a structure member.
+
+ For C/C++ structures there are several psuedo children returned to
+ designate access qualifiers.  For these pseudo children @var{exp} is
+ @samp{public}, @samp{private}, or @samp{protected}.  No type need be provided.
+
+ @item numchild
+ Number of children this child has.
+ @item type
+ The type of the child.
