gdb: rename lin-lwp to linux-nat in set/show debug
Rename 'set debug lin-lwp' to 'set debug linux-nat' and 'show debug lin-lwp' to 'show debug linux-nat'. I've updated the documentation and help text to match, as well as making it clear that the debug that is coming out relates to all aspects of Linux native inferior support, not just the LWP aspect of it. The boundary between general "native" target debug, and the lwp specific part of that debug was always a little blurry, but the actual debug variable inside GDB is debug_linux_nat, and the print routine linux_nat_debug_printf, is used throughout the linux-nat.c file, not just for lwp related debug, so the new name seems to make more sense.
