Merge branch 'minor_doc_updates' into 'master'
Minor doc updates ## What does this MR do? Adds to and clarifies some documentation. Specifically, when using `gdb` to debug you need to detach and exit when done. Next, this clarifies the type of file locking that we require. Thanks to @northrup for the details about mandatory vs. advisory file locking. Note: These were two really small changes so I combined in to one merge request. However, I left the commits separate for clarity. See merge request !4421
