Subject: 26.0.90; doc of `picture-mode-exit' and `picture-mode'

1. The doc string of `picture-mode-exit' should mention the prefix arg
(not just arg).

2. Both doc strings incorrectly give the impression that a line that has
only whitespace (e.g. space chars) is NOT stripped of its whitespace
chars if you provide an argument.

The command functions correctly, which is to strip all such lines except
the one with point.  The whitespace preceding point on its line is not
stripped when you use a prefix arg.  This is the only whitespace that is
not stripped when you use a prefix arg.
