gdb: rename cfunc to simple_func
After browsing the CLI code for quite a while and trying really hard, I
reached the conclusion that I can't give a meaningful explanation of
what "sfunc" and "cfunc" functions are, in cmd_list_element. I don't
see a logic at all. That makes it very difficult to do any kind of
change. Unless somebody can make sense out of all that, I'd like to try
to retro-fit some logic in the cmd_list_element callback function code
so that we can understand what is going on, do some cleanups and add new
features.
The first change is about "cfunc". I can't figure out what the "c" in
cfunc means. It's not const, because there's already "const" in
"cmd_const_cfunc_ftype", and the previous "cmd_cfunc_ftype" had nothing
const.. It's not "cmd" or "command", because there's already "cmd" in
"cmd_const_cfunc_ftype".
The "main" command callback, cmd_list_element::func, has three
parameters, whereas cfunc has two. It is missing the cmd_list_element
parameter. So the only reason I see for cfunc to exist is to be a shim
between the three and two parameter versions. Most commands don't need
to receive the cmd_list_element object, so adding it everywhere would be
long and would just add more unnecessary boilerplate. So since this is
the "simple" version of the callback, compared to the "full", I suggest
renaming cmd_const_cfunc_ftype into cmd_simple_func_ftype, as well as
everything (like the utility functions) that goes with it.
