Fix documentation of -fprofile-exclude-files

The wording of the description of -fprofile-exclude-files is easy to
misunderstand.  One can be led to believe a file is excluded only if
it matches all of the patterns, not just one.  This patch tries to
clarify the function.  It also adjusts the wording of
-fprofile-filter-files accordingly.
