Patch: document sessions

This patch adds some rudimentary documentation for sessions. Is this
ok to check in?
This is probably flamable, but I think it would make sense to rewrite
the Insight docs in Texinfo. One nice thing about Texinfo is that you
can generate fairly nice HTML from it. (Take a look at
http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/ if you don't believe me.)
This would be a win over the current situation; for instance we would
get in-document navigation on every page.

+
+Insight will save your session for you automatically. The ``session''
+is essentially a group of settings which are keyed by the name of the
+inferior which you are debugging.<p>
+
+Insight will show a list of the five most recent previous sessions on
+the <tt>File</tt> menu. Choosing an item from this list will cause
+Insight to load the indicated executable and restore all the settings
+saved in the session.<p>
+
+The settings stored in a session are:
+<ul>
+<li> The name of the executable.
+
+<li> The inferior's command-line arguments.
+
+<li> The target.
+
+<li> The path used when searching for source files.
+
+<li> The current working directory.
+
+<li> The breakpoints and watchpoints, including conditions, actions,
+ and the like.
+</ul>
+<p>
+
+More items may be added to this list as the need arises.<p>
+
+At present there is no way to disable session saving.<p>
