[PATCH v2] gdb: include help aliases in help command completion

- Subject: [PATCH v2] gdb: include help aliases in help command completion
- References: <1353358451-23819-1-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org>
There are a bunch of aliases that get used with help, but the current
command completion logic does not include those when doing completions.
Since the framework is already mostly in place, extend complete_on_cmdlist
slightly to pass down the ignore_help_classes flag like is done with the
existing lookup command logic.
Now you can do:
(gdb) help use<tab>
and get back:
(gdb) help user-defined

2012-11-19 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* cli/cli-decode.c (complete_on_cmdlist): Add a fourth arg and check
it when looking at ptr->func.
* command.h (complete_on_cmdlist): Add a fourth arg.
* completer.c (complete_line_internal): Add local ignore_help_classes,
and set it to 1 when reason is not handle_help. Pass this down to
lookup_cmd_1 and complete_on_cmdlist.
gdb/testsuite/:
2012-11-19 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* gdb.base/completion.exp: Add test for help aliases completion.
