GDB/MI: Document support for -exec-run --start in -list-features
This adds "exec-run-start-option" in the output of the -list-features commands, allowing front-ends to easily determine whether -exec-run supports the --start option. gdb/ChangeLog: * mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): add "exec-run-start-option". * NEWS: Expand the entry documenting the new -exec-run --start option to mention the corresponding new entry in the output of "-list-features". gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document the new "exec-run-start-option" entry in the output of the "-list-features" command. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/mi-start.exp: Add test verifying that -list-features contains "exec-run-start-option".
