Updates and fixes for the manpage from Uwe Hermann

- Mention that MIPS systems are supported
- Mention Jim Tcl engine
- Point to info page (not README) for a list of supported stuff
- Document missing --pipe option
- Fix copy-paste error ("flex" should have been "openocd")

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B OpenOCD
is an on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and boundary\-scan
testing tool for ARM systems.
testing tool for various ARM and MIPS systems.
.PP
The debugger uses an IEEE 1149\-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access
on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM7/9, XScale, Cortex-M3, and
Marvell Feroceon (as found in the Orion SoC family) based
microcontrollers / system\-on\-chip solutions.
on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM based microcontrollers or
system-on-chip solutions. For MIPS systems the EJTAG interface is supported.

User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and
a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server.
User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface,
a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server, and a simplified RPC
connection that can be used to interface with OpenOCD's Jim Tcl engine.

OpenOCD supports various different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers,
