Change verify_info to accept info segments describing an analyze_multics exec_com

[Gary Dixon]

verify_info currently permits exec_com segments (ending in .ec) to:

• include use of the .ec suffix in their header line words.
• include use of an exec_com or ec command name in their Syntax line.

For example, in >doc>info>compare_pl1.ec.info, the following header and Syntax lines are accepted as the preferred formatting:

help compare_pl1.ec -bf

>doc>info>compare_pl1.ec.info   (20 lines in info)

1987-09-10  compare_pl1.ec, cpp.ec

Syntax:  ec >t>cpp path1 path2

Arguments:
 path1, path2

As part of new support for analyze_multics exec_com segments (ending in .azmec.info), the same
exceptions in header and Syntax support should be provided.

The installed verify_info (vi) command currently complains about these lines in the proposed event_channel_info.azmec.info segment.

This info segment includes documentation for both the event_channel_table.ec and event_channel_table.azmec segments. verify_info accepts the header and Syntax as a command
contents in the :Info: block describing the .ec segment, but not in the :Info: block describing the .azmec
segment. Both follow the same pattern and should therefore be accepted.

help event_channel_table.ec -bf

>udd>m>gd>w>ect>event_channel_table.ec.info   (68 lines in info)

2025-06-20  event_channel_table.ec, ect.ec

Syntax as a command:  ec ect {MODE_STRING {CHANNEL_IDs}}

Arguments:
