Cygwin: Make gmondump conform to its doc + adjust doc
The doc for gmondump says 1 or more FILENAME are expected, but 0 is
handled. That's an oversight. Make invocation with 0 FILENAMEs print a
one-line help message.
Reword the beginning of profiler's description doc to clarify target's
child processes are run but only optionally profiled.
