Subject: [patch][gcov] Clarify the internals a bit

Hello,

While reading up on how gcov/profiling works, I noticed that there are
a lot of places where the notes file is still referred to as the
"basic block graph" file. Also, the gcov manual has not been updated
for -fprofile-dir. The attached patch addresses these issues, so that
the next gcov newbie hopefully has an easier time understanding how
everything fits together.

Bootstrapped&tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. OK?

Ciao!
Steven
