Fix "maint time" command documentation.


Hello,

 The documentation for the "maint time" command does not mention the units of time.
 Also, there are a couple of typos in there. I have attempted to fix these in the
 following patch; please let me know if we could word/punctuate this better and
 I'll be happy to re-spin.

I rebuilt gdb.info and visually inspected the generated gdb.info

Thank you,
Anmol.
