[PATCH] Fix index entries in gdb.texinfo.


FYI: I committed the following (trunk and branch).  This fixes some
problems with index entries in the manual, most of them @kindex
entries.  The original motivation was to eliminate index entries like
this in the printed docs:

	n               page NN

which come from "@kindex n" in the Texinfo sources.
