./gdb -h versus info '(gdb)Mode Options'
Info nodes "Choosing modes" and "Startup', write about "-nx" with one dash, but
"gdb -h" speaks about "--nx" with two dashes. Likewise for "-nh"/"--nh".
gdb -h does not mention just "-n".
In fact 'Choosing modes' mentions every option with one dash, while "gdb -h"
states that only single-letter options are with one dash.
All of the single-dash/double-dash long-name options I tried do work, but this
does not justify inconsistent documentation.
