gdb: update comment for execute_command_to_string
The function execute_command_to_string had two header comments, one in gdbcmd.h and one in top.c. This commit merges the two comments into one and places this comment in gdbcmd.h. The comment in top.c is updated to just reference gdbcmd.h. gdb/ChangeLog: * gdbcmd.h (execute_command_to_string): Update comment. * top.c (execute_command_to_string): Update header comment.
