-debugger: Finished updating commands and documentation.
* Updated cheat commands to work with arbitrary devices and address spaces. You can still only search RAM areas in a single address space at a time, but any address space of any device can be used now. * Made the cheatinit/cheatrange commands not affect current state if the arguments are invalid. Also fixed some bugs in the cheat commands. * Updated documentation for cheat commands, and added a simple worked example. Also added single-sentence descriptions of what (break|watch|register)points are to the top of the relevant pages. -frontend improvements: * Added a bit more info to the about box, moved the VCS revision to the heading. * Don't show "not" codes in prompts - they're not helpful.
