gdb/testsuite: Add a way to send multiple init commands
Right now we provide a board info entry, `gdb_init_command', that allows one to send a single command to GDB before the program to be debugged is started. This is useful e.g. for slow remote targets to change the default "remotetimeout" setting. Occasionally I found a need to send multiple commands instead, however this cannot be achieved with `gdb_init_command'. This change therefore extends the mechanism by adding a TCL list of GDB commands to send, via a board info entry called `gdb_init_commands'. There is no limit as to the number of commands put there. The old `gdb_init_command' mechanism remains supported for compatibility with existing people's environments. * lib/gdb-utils.exp: New file. * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_run_cmd): Call gdb_init_commands, replacing inline `gdb_init_command' processing. (gdb_start_cmd): Likewise. * lib/mi-support.exp (mi_run_cmd): Likewise. * README: Document `gdb_init_command' and `gdb_init_commands'.
