[PATCH] Validate explicit locations with early termination


breakpoints/22569 involves an internal error generated by the rather
innocent looking command:

(gdb) break -source test.cpp main
.../linespec.c:3302: internal-error: void decode_line_full(...):
Assertion `result.size () == 1 || canonical->pre_expanded' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)

The input string is tokenized into "-source", "test.cpp", and "main"
(input parsing breaks on whitespace). create_breakpoint is then called with
the explicit location (containing only the source file name) and "main" as
the extra_string argument.

No SaLs are created for this underspecified explicit location, and the
"result.size () == 1" evaluates false (as does the pre_expanded condition).
This triggers the assertion.

Normally string_to_explicit_location validates the input string.  However,
the presence of the string "main" causes the parser to exit early:

   802        else
   803          {
   804            /* End of the explicit location specification.
   805               Stop parsing and return whatever explicit location was
   806               parsed.  */
   807            *argp = start;
   808            return location;
   809          }

This bypasses the validation that is done a few lines down in this function
which would have emitted the expected error.  This patch fixes that.

Additionally, this patch also fixes an inconsistency with error reporting
in this use case:

(gdb) b -source foo
Source filename requires function, label, or line offset.
(gdb) b -source foo main
No source file named foo.

These two commands should have elicited the same error message.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR breakpoints/22569
	* location.c (string_to_explicit_location): When terminating
	parsing early, break out of enclosing loop instead of returning.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	PR breakpoints/22569
	* gdb.linespec/ls-errs.exp: Change expected result of "break
	-source this file has spaces.c -line 3".
	Check that an explicit source file followed by whitespace is
	identified as an invalid explicit location.
