PR gdb/21574: Mention $SHELL and startup-with-shell on "help run"
This simple patch updates the documentation of "help run" in order to
mention that the shell used to start the inferior comes from the
$SHELL environment variable. It also mentions that this behaviour can
be disabled by using the "set startup-with-shell off" command.
