doc: More precise -debug and -debugexclude doc
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I wondered how one could enable debug logging with `-debug=<category>` for multiple categories. Found out solution is to specify that option multiple times for each wanted category.

This PR documents this behavior and uses the same wording for the same behavior of `-debugexclude=<category>` to make that also clear and stringent.
