From: Patrick Bernardi <bernardi@adacore.com>
Add documentation for the -Q gnatbind switch in GNAT User's Guide and
improve gnatbind's help output for the switch to emphasize that it adds the
requested number of stacks to the secondary stack pool generated by the
binder.
gcc/ada/
* bindusg.adb (Display): Make it clear -Q adds to the number of
secondary stacks generated by the binder.
* doc/gnat_ugn/building_executable_programs_with_gnat.rst:
Document the -Q gnatbind switch and fix references to old
runtimes.
* gnat-style.texi: Regenerate.
* gnat_rm.texi: Regenerate.
* gnat_ugn.texi: Regenerate.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on master.
