Thomas Preud'homme a05a5b64cf Fix use of "command line X" in binutils doc
Binutils documentation uses a mix of spelling for the compound word
"command-line X". According to [1]:

"Sometimes compound words are written separately (nail polish),
sometimes with a hyphen (short-sighted) and sometimes as one word
(eyelashes). Often new compounds are written as two separate words and,
as they become more familiar, they are either connected with a hyphen
(-) or made into one word."

I think command-line X is common enough in our industry that the two
workds command and line should be connected. Since command-line is more
common than commandline, I propose to update binutils documentation to
consistently use "command-line" when this is used as an adjective to a
noun (eg. command-line argument, command-line switch, command-line
option and command-line flag). I've left occurences of "the command
line" as is. I've also left gdb, sim and readline alone and have only
touched public documentation (texi and NEWS files).

@cindex Epiphany line comment character
The presence of a @samp{;} on a line indicates the start
of a comment that extends to the end of the current line.
If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be
a logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
@cindex line separator, Epiphany
@cindex statement separator, Epiphany
@cindex Epiphany line separator
The @samp{`} character can be used to separate statements on the same
line.
