Fix leak of set/show verbose doc, avoid xfree of static string
In the tests
py-pp-registration/gdb.log
default/gdb.log
foll-fork/gdb.log
setshow/gdb.log
break-interp/gdb.log
Valgrind detects a leak of the doc strings for the set and show verbose cmd.
Here is the stacktrace of the leaked set doc:
==25548== 15 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 101 of 3,120
==25548== at 0x4C2BE6D: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:309)

==25548== by 0x289CA7: main (gdb.c:32)
The leak is created by top.c set_verbose 'elaborate joke':
the doc string is changed according to the verbosity:
(gdb) help set verbose
Set verbosity.
(gdb) set verbose on
(gdb) help set verbose
Set verbose printing of informational messages.
(gdb)
set_verbose creates the leak as it replaces the string allocated in
the above stacktrace by a static (non translated) string:
...
if (info_verbose)
{
c->doc = "Set verbose printing of informational messages.";
...
Also, this can possibly trigger a call to 'free' of a static string,
as c->doc_allocated is kept true, while the string is not allocated anymore.
This patch:
* fixes the leak by freeing the previous docs if doc_allocated.
* internationalize the messages.
* properly sets doc_allocated to 0 once doc strings are static.

* top.c (set_verbose): Free previous docs if doc_allocated.
Internationalize messages. Set doc_allocated to 0.
