gdb: introduce new 'maint flush ' prefix command
We currently have two flushing commands 'flushregs' and 'maint
flush-symbol-cache'. I'm planning to add at least one more so I
thought it might be nice if we bundled these together into one place.
And so I created the 'maint flush ' command prefix. Currently there
are two commands:
(gdb) maint flush symbol-cache
(gdb) maint flush register-cache
Unfortunately, even though both of the existing flush commands are
maintenance commands, I don't know how keen we about deleting existing
commands for fear of breaking things in the wild. So, both of the
existing flush commands 'maint flush-symbol-cache' and 'flushregs' are
still around as deprecated aliases to the new commands.
I've updated the testsuite to use the new command syntax, and updated
the documentation too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention new commands, and that the old commands are now
deprecated.
* cli/cli-cmds.c (maintenanceflushlist): Define.
* cli/cli-cmds.h (maintenanceflushlist): Declare.
* maint.c (_initialize_maint_cmds): Initialise
maintenanceflushlist.
* regcache.c: Add 'cli/cli-cmds.h' include.

(_initialize_regcache): Create new 'maint flush register-cache'
command, make 'flushregs' an alias.
* symtab.c: Add 'cli/cli-cmds.h' include.
(_initialize_symtab): Create new 'maint flush symbol-cache'
command, make old command an alias.
