    gdb/tui: Fix 'layout asm' before the inferior has started
    
    Currently if a user starts the tui with 'layout asm' then they will be
    presented with the 'src' layout.
    
    What happens is:
    
      1. Layout command enables TUI, selecting the SRC layout by default.
    
      2. As part of tui_enable we call tui_display_main, which calls
         tui_get_begin_asm_address, which calls
         set_default_source_symtab_and_line.  This changes core GDBs
         current symtab and line, which triggers a call to the symtab
         changed hook tui_symtab_changed, which sets the flag
         from_source_symtab.
    
      3. Back in the layout command, the layout is changed from SRC to
         ASM.  After this the layout command completes and we return to
         core GDB which prints the prompt, however...
    
      4. The before prompt hook is called which sees the
         from_source_symtab flag is set and forces the SRC window to be
         displayed.  This switches us back to SRC view.
    
    The solution I propose here is to delay installing the hooks into core
    GDB until after we have finished setting up the tui and selecting the
    default frame to view.  In this way we effectively ignore the first
    symtab changed event triggered when making main the default symtab.
