[PATCH] Update help of the "frame" command


The help message of the "frame" command states that nothing is printed
if the command is executed from the command file or user-defined
command.  My testing leads me to think that this is not true (at least
today).

  (gdb) bt
  #0  bar (n=17) at test.c:9
  #1  0x00000000004006e0 in foo (v=17) at test.c:13
  #2  0x00000000004006f0 in main () at test.c:21
  (gdb) frame
  #0  bar (n=17) at test.c:9
  9	    baz(n);
  (gdb) define foo
  Type commands for definition of "foo".
  End with a line saying just "end".
  >frame 1
  >end
  (gdb) foo
  #1  0x00000000004006e0 in foo (v=17) at test.c:13
  13	    bar(v);

This patch simply removes that bit from the help message.  I didn't find
anything corresponding to this in the documentation that needs to be
fixed.
