Improve doc about "maint print c-tdesc"
In my patch extending command "maint print c-tdesc" (https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00286.html), Eli raised some questions on the existing doc to this command. It is not very clear, so this patch improves it. Eli approved it. gdb/doc: 2017-07-18 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * gdb.texinfo (Maintenance Commands): Improve the doc to command "maint print c-tdesc".
