Documentation: change -L:<regex> to -L:<funcname>
The old wording was somehow implying that <start> and <end> were not regular expressions. Also, the common case is to use a plain function name here so <funcname> makes sense (the fact that it is a regular expression is documented in line-range-format.txt).
