NEWS entries

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

I have twice recently written release notes based on GDB's NEWS file.
I noticed two related items which are documented, but IMO should be
improved.  I look through NEWS to know what cool things I (or my
users) can try out, so I would like to know where they're expected
to work.

* Process record and replay

  In a architecture environment that supports ``process record and
  replay'', ``process record and replay'' target can record a log of
  the process execution, and replay it with both forward and reverse
  execute commands.

I believe this is currently only supported on i386-linux, is that right?
If so, we should say so.  Also, "execution commands".

set non-stop
show non-stop
  Control whether other threads are stopped or not when some thread hits
  a breakpoint.

Documenting "set non-stop" is fine - but can we get some text about
non-stop mode, itself?  As above, this should include which platforms
non-stop is initially supported on.

Sure, this has been on my TODO list for long, but never
emerged enough.  :-)  I'll get to it soon.

You are right on both counts.  Patches are welcome, or I will do it
eventually.
