Reland "[docs][Bugpoint]Add notes about multiple crashes"
Fix the warning. Bugpoint.rst:124:Mismatch: both interpreted text role prefix and reference suffix. Note that the line no here is wrong and misleading, the problem is in line 128, not 124. llvm-svn: 372181

miscompilation. Programs should be temporarily modified to disable outputs

+* In the `crash debugger`_, ``bugpoint`` does not distiguish different crashes

* In the code generator and miscompilation debuggers, debugging will go faster
if you manually modify the program or its inputs to reduce the runtime, but
still exhibit the problem.
