gdb: Use add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd in remote.c
Switch to use add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd for some of the control variables in remote.c. The variables hardware-watchpoint-limit, hardware-breakpoint-limit, and hardware-watchpoint-length-limit are all changed. For example, a user will now see this: (gdb) show remote hardware-breakpoint-limit The maximum number of target hardware breakpoints is unlimited. Instead of this: (gdb) show remote hardware-breakpoint-limit The maximum number of target hardware breakpoints is -1. And can do this: (gdb) set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit unlimited However, previously any negative value implied "unlimited", now only -1, or the text "unlimited" can be used for unlimited. Any other negative value will give an error about invalid input. This is a small change in the user interface, but, hopefully, this will not cause too many problems. I've also added show functions for these three variables to allow for internationalisation. gdb/ChangeLog: * remote.c (show_hardware_watchpoint_limit): New function. (show_hardware_watchpoint_length_limit): New function. (show_hardware_breakpoint_limit): New function. (_initialize_remote): Use add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd where appropriate, update help text. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): Update descriptions for set/show of hardware-watchpoint-limit, hardware-breakpoint-limit, and hardware-watchpoint-length-limit variables.
