gdb: Introduce 'print max-depth' feature

Introduce a new print setting max-depth which can be set with 'set
print max-depth DEPTH'.  The default value of DEPTH is 20, but this
can also be set to unlimited.

When GDB is printing a value containing nested structures GDB will
stop descending at depth DEPTH.  Here is a small example:

    typedef struct s1 { int a; } s1;
    typedef struct s2 { s1 b; } s2;
    typedef struct s3 { s2 c; } s3;
    typedef struct s4 { s3 d; } s4;

    s4 var = { { { { 3 } } } };

The following table shows how various depth settings affect printing
of 'var':

    | Depth Setting | Result of 'p var'              |
    |---------------+--------------------------------|
    |     Unlimited | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
    |             4 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
    |             3 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {...}}}}   |
    |             2 | $1 = {d = {c = {...}}}         |
    |             1 | $1 = {d = {...}}               |
    |             0 | $1 = {...}                     |

Only structures, unions, and arrays are replaced in this way, scalars
and strings are not replaced.

The replacement is counted from the level at which you print, not from
the top level of the structure.  So, consider the above example and
this GDB session:

    (gdb) set print max-depth 2
    (gdb) p var
    $1 = {d = {c = {...}}}
    (gdb) p var.d
    $2 = {c = {b = {...}}}
    (gdb) p var.d.c
    $3 = {b = {a = 3}}

Setting the max-depth to 2 doesn't prevent the user from exploring
deeper into 'var' by asking for specific sub-fields to be printed.

The motivation behind this feature is to try and give the user more
control over how much is printed when examining large, complex data
structures.

The default max-depth of 20 means that there is a change in GDB's
default behaviour.  Someone printing a data structure with 20 levels
of nesting will now see '{...}' instead of their data, they would need
to adjust the max depth, or call print again naming a specific field
in order to dig deeper into their data structure.  If this is
considered a problem then we could increase the default, or even make
the default unlimited.

This commit relies on the previous commit, which added a new field to
the language structure, this new field was a string that contained the
pattern that should be used when a structure/union/array is replaced
in the output, this allows languages to use a syntax that is more
appropriate, mostly this will be selecting the correct types of
bracket '(...)' or '{...}', both of which are currently in use.

This commit should have no impact on MI output, expressions are
printed through the MI using -var-create and then -var-list-children.
As each use of -var-list-children only ever displays a single level of
an expression then the max-depth setting will have no impact.

This commit also adds the max-depth mechanism to the scripting
language pretty printers following basically the same rules as for the
built in value printing.

One quirk is that when printing a value using the display hint 'map',
if the keys of the map are structs then GDB will hide the keys one
depth level after it hides the values, this ensures that GDB produces
output like this:

  $1 = map_object = {[{key1}] = {...}, [{key2}] = {...}}

Instead of this less helpful output:

  $1 = map_object = {[{...}] = {...}, [{...}] = {...}}

This is covered by the new tests in gdb.python/py-nested-maps.exp.
