Description

There is no obvious way (i.e. I clicked around on the web page and the github project for more than ten minutes) to find the various gdb commands that are available when running rr replay.

In this particular case I wanted to find the way to avoid debugee standard error from being shown when replaying. I know there is a way, I just cannot remember how I did last time and now I cannot find anything.

What I would expect is a nice little table with all the commands (perhaps even with useful abbreviations) summarizing what rr-specific things are available in gdb.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the rr replay documentation and the GDB command entry points referenced by the project; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Inventory the rr-specific commands and useful abbreviations, including the stderr-related command, in a discoverable table, and verify that a user can find the table from the project documentation.
