Add MI "-break-insert --qualified"
Currently -break-insert always creates a wildmatching breakpoint, and there's no way to ask for a fullname match. To address that, this patch adds the equivalent of "break -qualified" to MI: "-break-insert --qualified". For the testcase, curiously, it doesn't look like we have _any_ testcase that tests a breakpoint with multiple locations, and, the existing mi_create_breakpoint / mi_make_breakpoint procedures are only good for breakpoints with a single location. This patch thus adds a few new companion routines to mi-support.exp for breakpoints with multiple locations: mi_create_breakpoint_multi, mi_make_breakpoint_loc, mi_make_breakpoint_multi. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Document "-break-insert --qualified". * mi/mi-cmd-break.c (mi_cmd_break_insert_1): Handle "--qualified". gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Breakpoint Commands): Document "-break-insert --qualified" and "-dprintf-insert --qualified". gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/mi-break-qualified.cc: New file. * gdb.mi/mi-break-qualified.exp: New file. * lib/mi-support.exp (mi_create_breakpoint_multi) (mi_make_breakpoint_loc, mi_make_breakpoint_multi): New procedures. (mi_create_breakpoint_1): New, factored out from mi_create_breakpoint.

*** Changes since GDB 10
+* MI changes
+
+ ** '-break-insert --qualified' and '-dprintf-insert --qualified'
+
+ The MI -break-insert and -dprintf-insert commands now support a
+ new "--qualified" option that makes GDB interpret a specified
+ function name as a complete fully-qualified name. This is the
+ equivalent of the CLI's "break -qualified" and "dprintf
+ -qualified".
