gdb: 'maint info sections' - handle the no executable case
The 'maint info sections' command is split into two blocks or work, first if there's an executable then the sections from the executable, and optionally all other loaded object files are printed. Then all the sections from any core file are printed. I ran into a situation where (for various reasons) I wasn't using a main executable. Instead I connected to a remote target and used add-symbol-file. This allowed me to debug an image that was already loaded on the remote system. Unfortunately, when I tried to use 'maint info sections' I saw nothing. The reason is that the loop over all object files is hidden behind a check that we have a main executable. This commit removes this check and merges together some duplicate code. I also (I think) made the output of this command cleaner. Here is the original output of 'maint info sections': Exec file: `/tmp/hello.x', file type elf64-x86-64. [0] 0x004002a8->0x004002c4 at 0x000002a8: .interp ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS [1] 0x004002c4->0x004002e8 at 0x000002c4: .note.gnu.build-id ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS ... And my modified output: Exec file: `/home/andrew/tmp/hello.x', file type elf64-x86-64. [0] 0x004002a8->0x004002c4 at 0x000002a8: .interp ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS [1] 0x004002c4->0x004002e8 at 0x000002c4: .note.gnu.build-id ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS ... The forced newline after 'Exec file: ' has been removed. This is now a wrap point (in case the filename is very long). Here is the original output of 'maint info sections ALLOBJ': Exec file: `/tmp/hello.x', file type elf64-x86-64. Object file: /tmp/hello.x [0] 0x004002a8->0x004002c4 at 0x000002a8: .interp ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS [1] 0x004002c4->0x004002e8 at 0x000002c4: .note.gnu.build-id ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS ...

And my modified output: Exec file: `/tmp/hello.x', file type elf64-x86-64. [0] 0x004002a8->0x004002c4 at 0x000002a8: .interp ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS [1] 0x004002c4->0x004002e8 at 0x000002c4: .note.gnu.build-id ALLOC LOAD READONLY DATA HAS_CONTENTS ...

The executable now only gets a single header line. The header line for the additional object files is no longer indented as it was before, and the line is laid out in a similar style to the main executable line (with quotes and file type information). And of course, the biggest change. If GDB is started with no executable, but then the user does 'add-symbol-file ....' followed by 'maint info sections ALLOBJ', previously they got nothing, now they get: Object file: `/tmp/hello.x', file type elf64-x86-64.
