Subject: bug#22483: 25.1.50; Doc string of `isearch-lax-whitespace' does not show toggle key

The doc string says you can toggle using command
`isearch-togggle-lax-whitespace'.  That's pretty useless, as it makes
sense only during Isearch.  It should say that you can use key `M-s SPC'
to do this.  IOW, there is a missing \\[...] envelope.

Not only that, but if you actually try `M-x
isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace' you may be in for a bit of a surprise.

The same doc-string problem holds for other Isearch doc strings that
mention this command - they should all use \\[...] and say that you can
use this _during Isearch_ to toggle the variable value.
