Update comments on stepping over resolver code.
This updates the comments on the step-over-resolver mechanism a bit, adjusting it to refer to the gdbarch hooks instead of the old macros; to mention the in_dynsym_resolve_code hook of the target_so_ops vector; and to American English spelling (signalling->signaling). gdb/ 2013-06-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c: Update comments on stepping over runtime loader dynamic symbol resolution code.
