gdb: process early initialization files and command line options

Adds the ability to process commands at a new phase during GDB's
startup.  This phase is earlier than the current initialisation file
processing, before GDB has produced any output.

The number of commands that can be processed at this early stage will
be limited, and it is expected that the only commands that would be
processed at this stage will relate to some of the fundamentals of how
GDB starts up.

Currently the only commands that it makes sense to add to this early
initialization file are those like 'set style version ....' as the
version string is displayed during startup before the standard
initialization files are parsed.  As such this commit fully resolved
bug cli/25956.

This commit adds a mechanism to execute these early initialization
files from a users HOME directory, as well as some corresponding
command line flags for GDB.

The early initialization files that GDB will currently check for are
~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit (on Linux like systems) or ~/.gdbearlyinit
if the former is not found.

The output of 'gdb --help' has been extended to include a list of the
early initialization files being processed.
