Update documentation to describe actual behaviour #150

Closed duncan-roe closed 1 year ago

Without this patch, the debug options from man remake are garbage. remake -h is updated to match. While being about it, standardise the layout of optional arguments (no space before '[', '=' inside []).

Hi Rocky,

This is my best understanding of what the debugger-stop TYPEs do, from a combination of debugging remake and debugging Makefiles with remake. If anything's substantially wrong, LMK and I'll send a v2. In particular, I changed after to before for the goal type. I ran remake --debugger-stop=goal with the Makefile from commit b9cd30e4 (%1 s.b. f1) and it stopped at f1: f2, same as remake --debugger-stop=preaction. Also there is no normal type: --debugger-stop=normal is silently ignored. I've left the texinfo files for another day.

BTW, why didn't you take #149?

Cheers ... Duncan.
