[PATCH] MI: Add new command -complete


There is a CLI command 'complete' intended to use with emacs. Such a command
would also be useful for MI frontends, when separate CLI and MI channels cannot
be used. For example, on Windows (because of lack of PTYs) or when GDB is used
through SSH session.

This commit adds a new '-complete' MI command which is implemented using
CLI's 'complete'.

gdb/Changelog:
2019-01-03  Jan Vrany  <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz>

	* cli/cli-cmds.h: Export complete_command.
	* cli/cli-cmds.c (complete_command): Update to print completions
	on MI channel if requested.
	* mi/mi-cmds.c: Define new -complete command implemented using
	it CLI command 'complete'.
	* NEWS: Mention new -complete command.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2019-01-03  Jan Vrany  <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz>

	* gdb.texinfo (Miscellaneous GDB/MI Commands): Document new
	MI command -complete.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-01-03  Jan Vrany  <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz>

	* gdb.mi/mi-complete.exp: New file.
