The effect of @command is the same as that of @code, see the Texinfo
manual.  We didn't use @command for a long time because we tried to be
compatible to old versions of Texinfo, which didn't support it.  Now
that reason is gone, so I fixed the misc.texi parts.  I left alone the
ack.texi part, since I didn't feel like changing attributions just on
behalf of an unimportant markup issue.

Thanks.

Hi Emacs developers.

In misc.texi (and ack.texi), there are misused Texinfo markups.

>>> start here
ack.texi:1099:William Schelter wrote @file{telnet.el}, support for
@code{telnet}
misc.texi:1513:would from a regular terminal (e.g., using the @code{ssh} or
misc.texi:1514:@code{telnet} or @code{rlogin} commands), from a Term window.
<<<end here

I think these @code{...} markups should marked with @command{...}.

Thanks.
