GDB: Add `NUMBER' completion to `set' integer commands
Fix a completion consistency issue with `set' commands accepting integer values and the special `unlimited' keyword: (gdb) complete print -elements print -elements NUMBER print -elements unlimited (gdb) vs: (gdb) complete set print elements set print elements unlimited (gdb) (there is a space entered at the end of both commands, not shown here) which also means if you strike <Tab> with `set print elements ' input, it will, annoyingly, complete to `set print elements unlimited' right away rather than showing a choice between `NUMBER' and `unlimited'. Add `NUMBER' then as an available completion for such `set' commands: (gdb) complete set print elements set print elements NUMBER set print elements unlimited (gdb) Adjust the testsuite accordingly. Also document the feature in the Completion section of the manual in addition to the Command Options section already there.

+* Completion now also offers "NUMBER" for "set" commands that accept
+ a numeric argument and the "unlimited" keyword. For example:
+
+ (gdb) set width <TAB>
+ NUMBER unlimited
+
+ and consequently:
+
+ (gdb) complete set width
+ set width NUMBER
+ set width unlimited
+
