dyndbg-docs: eschew file /full/path query in docs
Regarding: commit 2b678319 ("dynamic_debug: add trim_prefix() to provide source-root relative paths") commit a73619a8 ("kbuild: use -fmacro-prefix-map to make __FILE__ a relative path") 2nd commit broke dynamic-debug's "file $fullpath" query form, but nobody noticed because 1st commit had trimmed prefixes from control-file output, so the click-copy-pasting of fullpaths into new queries had ceased; that query form became unused. Removing the function is cleanest, but it could be useful in old-compiler corner cases, where __FILE__ still has /full/path, and it safely does nothing otherwize. So instead, quietly deprecate "file /full/path" query form, by removing all /full/paths examples in the docs. I skipped adding a back-compat note.
