[PATCH v2 4/5] Implement "set cwd" command


This is the actual implementation of the "set/show cwd" commands.  The
way they work is:

- If the user sets the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", then this
  directory is saved into current_inferior ()->cwd and is used when
  the inferior is started (see below).

- If the user doesn't set the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", but
  rather use the "cd" command as before, the this directory is
  inherited by the inferior because GDB will have chdir'd into it.

The way the directory is changed before the inferior execution is by
calling "gdb_chdir" after the call to fork/vfork on "fork_inferior",
but before the actual execution.  This way, we'll make sure that GDB's
cwd is not affected by the user set cwd.

gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	* NEWS (New commands): Mention "set/show cwd".
	* cli/cli-cmds.c (_initialize_cli_cmds): Mention "set cwd" on
	"cd" command's help text.
	* common/common-inferior.h (get_inferior_cwd): New prototype.
	* infcmd.c: Include "gdb_chdir.h" and "readline/tilde.h".
	(inferior_cwd_scratch): New global variable.
	(set_inferior_cwd): New function.
	(get_inferior_cwd): Likewise.
	(set_cwd_command): Likewise.
	(show_cwd_command): Likewise.
	(_initialize_infcmd): Add "set/show cwd" commands.
	* inferior.h (class inferior) <cwd>: New field.
	* nat/fork-inferior.c: Include "gdb_chdir.h".
	(fork_inferior): Change inferior's cwd before its execution.
	* windows-nat.c (windows_create_inferior): Pass inferior's cwd
	to CreateProcess.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	* inferiors.c (get_inferior_cwd): New function.
	* inferiors.h (struct process_info) <cwd>: New field.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	* gdb.texinfo (Starting your Program) <The working directory.>:
	Mention new "set cwd" command.
	(Working Directory) <Your Program's Working Directory>:
	Rephrase to explain that "set cwd" exists and is the default
	way to change the inferior's cwd.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	* gdb.base/set-cwd.c: New file.
	* gdb.base/set-cwd.exp: Likewise.
