Per-inferior program arguments and io terminal

- Subject: Per-inferior program arguments and io terminal
At present, 'set args' sets global program arguments -- for every inferior. So,
if you wish to debug multiple programs, and they have different arguments, things
are unpleasant -- arguments should be changed before running each program. The
same problem exists with tty setting. The latter is probably most important for
frontends.
This patch makes 'set args' and 'set inferior-tty' be per-inferior. No regressions
on i686 linux. OK?

commit 62c539aad84bf40129de8c8e1232af7c332885b1
Author: Vladimir Prus <vladimir@codesourcery.com>
Date: Mon Dec 21 15:28:03 2009 +0300
Per-inferior args and tty.
* infcmd.c (inferior_args): Rename to ...
(inferior_args_sctach): ... this.
(inferior_io_terminal): Rename to ...
(inferior_io_terminal_scratch): ... this.
(inferior_argc, inferior_argv): Remove.
(set_inferior_io_terminal, get_inferior_io_terminal): Store
inside current_inferior().
(notice_inferior_io_terminal_set, show_inferior_io_terminal): New.
(get_inferior_args, set_inferior_args): Store inside
current_inferior().
(set_inferior_args_vector, notice_args_set): Likewise.
(tty_command): Remove.
(run_command_1): Don't free old args, as they are feed by
set_inferior_arg now.
(run_no_args_command): Likewise.
(_initialize_infcmd): Adjust variables.
* inferior.h (set_inferior_arg): Adjust prototype.
(struct inferior): New fields args, argc, argv, terminal.
* main.c (captured_main): Set arguments only after the initial
inferior has been created. Set set_inferior_io_terminal,
not tty_command.
