Minor fixups. Mention that DDB now has a history, and understands

emacs-style editing (which it used to have for a long time already).
Also mention the `gdb' and `help' commands.  Other commands need an
overhaul, too (like the various `show' subcommands), but i don't feel
very competent for these.
