wdired-use-dired-vertical-movement docstring improvements

[Chris Moore]

`sometimes' is missing its closing quote, and the docstring talks
about "if `track-eol' is honored" - well, isn't it always honored,
like all variables are?  Here's a patch.  Note that the docstring
still isn't quite right, because track-eol seems to have no effect on
the behavior.  Well, I have it set to the default 'nil' and
`sometimes' still works for me.

Chris.

Maybe the "if" is the error.  Maybe what it should say is "in addition,
this obeys `track-eol'."

What does the code say?

The code doesn't mention track-eol.  It is honored though, so your
guess seems to be correct, and the docstring should read:

If `sometimes', only move to the beginning of filename if the point is
before it.  `track-eol' is honored.  This behavior is very handy when
editing several filenames.
