gdb: Add new -n flag to some info commands
The 'info variables', its alias 'whereis', and 'info functions' all
include non-debug symbols in the output by default. The list of
non-debug symbols can sometimes be quite long, resulting in the
debug symbol based results being scrolled off the screen.
This commit adds a '-n' flag to all of the commands listed above that
excludes the non-debug symbols from the results, leaving just the
debug symbol based results.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-utils.c (info_print_options_defs): Delete.
(make_info_print_options_def_group): Delete.
(extract_info_print_options): Delete.
(info_print_command_completer): Delete.
(info_print_args_help): Add extra parameter, and optionally
include text about -n flag.
* cli/cli-utils.h (struct info_print_options): Delete.
(extract_info_print_options): Delete declaration.
(info_print_command_completer): Delete declaration.
(info_print_args_help): Add extra parameter, extend header
comment.
* python/python.c (gdbpy_rbreak): Pass additional parameter to
search_symbols.
