(Stack Buffer): Explain fringe arrow.

72393:0c01067e83c9

  The stack buffer displays a @dfn{call stack}, with one line for each
of the nested subroutine calls (@dfn{stack frames}) now active in the
program.  @xref{Backtrace,, Backtraces, gdb, The GNU debugger}.

@findex gdb-frames-select
  The selected frame number is displayed in reverse contrast.  To
select a frame in GDB, move point in the stack buffer to that stack
frame and type @key{RET} (@code{gdb-frames-select}), or click
@kbd{Mouse-2} on a stack frame.  If the locals buffer is visible,
selecting a stack frame updates it to display the local variables of
the new frame.

@vindex gdb-use-separate-io-buffer
If the variable @code{gdb-use-separate-io-buffer} is non-@code{nil},
the program being debugged takes its input and displays its output
here.  Otherwise it uses the GUD buffer for that.  To toggle whether
GUD mode uses this buffer, do @kbd{M-x gdb-use-separate-io-buffer}.
That takes effect when you next restart the program you are debugging.

The history and replay commands from Shell mode are available here,
as are the commands to send signals to the debugged program.

@findex gdb-frames-select
An arrow in the fringe points to the selected frame or, if the fringe is
not present, the number of the selected frame is displayed in reverse
contrast.  To select a frame in GDB, move point in the stack buffer to
that stack frame and type @key{RET} (@code{gdb-frames-select}), or click
@kbd{Mouse-2} on a stack frame.  If the locals buffer is visible,
selecting a stack frame updates it to display the local variables of the
