  --attach/--multi are currently only mentioned on the usage info first lines,
the meaning of PROG is completely absent and COMM/PID text is unstructured.

The words and structure chosen may not be perfect but IMHO this is an improvement.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-20  Cleber Rosa  <crosa@redhat.com>

	* server.c (gdbserver_usage): Reorganized the usage message.
