gdb: store internalvars in an std::map

In a test downstream in ROCgdb, we had a test case failing when
GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS was set.  The test was assuming a particular
order in the output of "show convenience".  And the order changes when
running with GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS.

I think that a nice way to fix it is to make the output of "show
convenience" sorted, and therefore stable.  Ideally, I think that the
the user-visible behavior of GDB should not change when using
GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS.  Plus, it makes the output of "show
convenience" look nice, not that it's really important.

Implement this by storing the internal vars in an std::map, which is a
sorted container.
